frame1: 1) Open a file in fundamental mode, text mode will probably work.
2) Put the mark somewhere distinctive in the buffer.
3) Leave this frame open on the file
frame2: 1) Open a new frame for the same file.
The new frame opens at the frame1's point
2) Jump somewhere else in the file.
3) switch buffers away from file.
4) switch buffers back to file.
5) My point is back to frame1's point, not where I left it
before switching buffers.

Are you sure? This doesn't work for me unless I arrange to have
Yes. Just checked again.
3.5) frame1 gets focus (and therefore its window is selected).
I do not have to switch focus back to frame1. Both windows and
solaris 2.4.11 versions act this way for me.
This behavior surprised me the first time I ran into it. I'm not
suggesting that it be fixed, in fact, the fix might be more
surprising.
The original reporter claims that he does not have the same
buffer opened in multiple windows, so this isn't the issue anyway.
