In GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Wed Aug 23 1989 on Sun3 (berkeley-unix) (recenter 0) after a (set-buffer foo) leaves the point of the original buffer in an totally incorrect position. setup: sitting in buffer-a (point == 3456 [of 318376]) <run elisp> set-buffer to buffer-b (point == 1234 [of 1376]) (recenter 0) <finish elisp and return to top-level> sitting in buffer-a (point == 1756, or 1394) To demo for oneself, run part-a part-b and part-c via M-x. Adjust the numbers if needed. note: look at the screen before running part-c ... sometimes the screen will "snap" to the correct position when you type "<esc>x". (defun part-a () (interactive) (find-file "/etc/passwd") (goto-char 1234) (find-file "/etc/hosts") (goto-char 3456)) (defun part-b () (interactive) (set-buffer "passwd") (recenter 0)) (defun part-c () (interactive) (if (= (point) 3456) (message "No bug") (message "Bug spotted... point moved to %s" (point)))) -wolfgang --- Wolfgang Rupprecht ARPA: wolfgang@bbn.com TEL: (703) 848-4800 UUCP: mit-eddie!bbn.com!wolfgang
