Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I can't give exact details of how to reproduce this problem, but I can give
a few generalities.  I have a single file loaded into emacs, move around a
bit with some searches, etc., setting point and mark, split into two windows
(C-X 2), move down into the bottom half, move around some more with some
more searches.  Then I hit C-x C-g (because I started a C-x extended command
and then changed my mind, using C-g to cancel the command).  What happens is
that the active cursor moves from the bottom half (window) to the top
window, and the bottom window's location within the file gets lost.

I tried to reproduce it once or twice without loading my .emacs file, but I
couldn't.  In this particular instance I have no idea where to even start to
whittle down my .emacs, since it's quite large.  But maybe someone else
might have seen and/or reported this problem, or better yet, might know of a
solution.
