I suspect the same code (basically a save-window-excursion) is also responsible for clearing completion windows and the like. Just figuring out what actually is going on would take me some time. A patch would really speed up consideration of your implicit proposal. Failing that, a specification of under what circumstances return from the minibuffer (whether normal, by QUIT, or by other error) should and should not restore the window configuration would be helpful. Otherwise it will go into the queue, which is moving relatively slowly at the present time. Maybe there are others who are more familiar with that code, but I can't promise that they'll look at it soon. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
