23.0.50; Can't switch to a buffer

[Leo <sdl.web@gmail.com>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

To reproduce:
   1. `emacs -nw -q' in a terminal
      Let's assume that *scratch* buffer is now displayed
   2. M-x server-start
   3. Open an X frame with emacsclient
   4. In X frame, you won't be able to switch to any buffer that is
      displayed in those tty frames.

I found this very annoying as from time to time I have to go to the tty
frame bury that buffer and go back to the X frame and switch to it. For
example when I want to copy something out of Emacs to other applications
such as firefox and I don't have a mouse there is no easy to do that in
ttys.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/packages/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
