This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I haven't been able to get this to happen reliably, but it seems as
though buffers are getting reordered from time to time. Where I see
it most often is in the following steps:
* Enter dired and walk a directory tree.
* Using dired, edit a file.
* Make many changes to the file, save it, and kill the buffer.
Normally, after this, you would be back in the last dired buffer that
you were working on, but lately I seem to wind up back in the scratch
buffer (but not always). I usually have to rerun dired and walk the
directories again. The dired buffer(s) are still there, it just isn't
the top buffer anymore.
