I was surprised today when I did a M-x pwd on *Occur*, and
it said my home directory, whereas the file I was doing
the M-x occur on was in a *different* directory.
I don't recall this behavior from the past -- or maybe I'm
just doing something wrong?
FYI:
NTEMACS: [ GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD ]
Thanks!

If Occur was changed so that *Occur* would "be" in
the *same* directory as what Occur was searching
through?
So that if you saw something interesting in *Occur*,
you could say C-x d and end up in the most likely
directory you'd WANT to end up in? (Assuming the buffer
being searched by Occur had a file attached to it,
that is...)
It just seems weird, the way it works now.
Thanks,
David

Then report it via M-x report-emacs-bug

A week ago or so, Stefan Monnier, one of the emacs maintainers,
suggested to write a bug-report about this situation.

Can't think of a reason why it shouldn't.

In Emacs 23.1.96, I cannot reproduce this. Does it work for you in
"emacs -Q"?

Also on the second call to M-x occur from a different directory?
