I find it annoying too, and I will be glad if it is gone.
While we are on the matter of annoyances, I am also quite annoyed by Emacs
switching windows without a definitive reason.
For instance, `o' in a dired window switches to the other window. And, I have
to switch back to dired in order to go and view another file.
C-x` in a diff window switches to the other window. And, I have to switch back
to diff in order to even view the hunk in its entirety. (This problem might
also be shared by all other uses of C-x`)
In general, I think that, whenever there is a listing in one window and stuff
in another window, it is a good idea for Emacs to assume that both are
important and avoid switching windows unnecessarily.
Cheers,
Uday
