Re: Bug when selecting TTY frames

Is this second paragraph what you'd want? I would think you should have to use focus-frame/other-frame to permanently change the frame, and that select-frame should revert to the original frame as under X? Or should focus-follows-mouse apply only to X consoles? If so then how should select-frame work when switching between X and tty frames? Hrvoje> I believe this has been broken by Greg's recent changes to Hrvoje> select-frame mechanism. Probably... I'll do some investigating. Funny, this is similar to the bug that existed under X before my changes! greg
