Re: Buffer's point changes when frame closed.

I have no idea what that means in terms of the XEmacs I have in front of me. If I type into a window on a buffer, then the buffer point is synched to that window, and is not the same as the window point in a selected window on that buffer in a non-selected frame (except by accident, and if I move in the selected frame, it won't be any more). At least, not in any XEmacs build I have immediately available to me. Are you telling me that in your XEmacs if you start xemacs -vanilla, and you do C-x b *tmp* RET "This is a buffer, and point is at the end of line 1 in frame 1" C-x 5 b *tmp* RET C-b you see the cursor move left in both frames? It does _not_ do that for me. Nor does the cursor move in both frames as I type text if I start xemacs -vanilla and do C-x b *tmp* RET C-x 5 b *tmp* RET "This is a buffer, and point is at the end of line 1 in frame 1" although the text appears simultaneously in both buffers. (Lack of cursor motion is a little disconcerting here.) Now, if I start xemacs -vanilla and do C-x b *tmp* RET "This is a buffer, and point is at the end of line 1 in frame 1" C-x 5 b *tmp* RET C-a C-x 5 o C-x b *scratch* RET C-x 5 o C-x b *scratch* RET C-x 5 o C-x 5 b *tmp* RET I am now looking at a lie (point is at the beginning of that line). This is moderately disconcerting in this context, but fixing that would be not be trivial, I think (you'd have to keep a viewed-buffer history for each window). Nor is it obvious that that would produce sane results as often as the current heuristic (on switch-to-buffer, last selected-window-on-selected-frame wins) does. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
