bug(?) with window configurations (second try)

Briefly, my problem is: with XEmacs 21.2-b35, it seems that the function 'set-window-configuration changes the point, and I don't think it should. In detail (and I posted this before, with no response): I have some code that does this: ;; start with the point in window 1. (setq bozo (current-window-configuration)) ... ;; do stuff that puts the point in the minibuffer, and also opens up ;; window 2, leaving both windows 1 and 2 visible ... (set-window-configuration bozo) In XEmacs 21.1.12 and GNU Emacs, the end result would be that the window 2 would go away, and the point would remain in the minibuffer. In XEmacs 21.2-b35, window 2 goes away, but the point also jumps back to window 1. I think this is in contradiction with the documentation for current-window-configuration, which says Documentation: Return an object representing the current window configuration of FRAME. If FRAME is nil or omitted, use the selected frame. This describes the number of windows, their sizes and current buffers, and for each displayed buffer, where display starts, and the positions of point and mark. An exception is made for point in the current buffer: its value is -not- saved. Note the last sentence. Because of this, set-window-configuration shouldn't change the point. This looks like a bug to me, or was this behavior changed intentionally, and the documentation not updated? -- John H.
