This is with my setup. I don't have a recipe from emacs -Q.
Among other things, buffers that have names `*...*' are special-display,
and I have non-nil `pop-up-frames'.
In a small elisp file buffer, I make a couple of contiguous
definitions invisible, using (put-text-property (region-beginning)
(region-end) 'invisible t).
Then I do `C-x C-v' and accept the default, which is the same file.
I enter `no' to the question about saving modified buffer, and
`yes' to the question about killing and replacing without saving.
Buffer *Pp Eval Ouput* pops up (in a separate frame), with value `nil'
displayed. Just after it pops up, buffer *Backtrace* pops up, with this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Buffer name `throw-test.el' is in use")
rename-buffer("throw-test.el")
byte-code("..." [obuf ofile buffer-file-name onum buffer-file-number
otrue lock-buffer rename-buffer buffer-file-truename
odir dired-directory oname] 2)
signal(error ("Cannot switch buffers in a dedicated window"))
error("Cannot switch buffers in a dedicated window")
old-switch-to-buffer(#<buffer throw-test.el> nil force-same-window)
switch-to-buffer(#<buffer throw-test.el> nil force-same-window)
find-file("c:/drews-lisp-20/throw-test.el" t)
find-alternate-file("c:/drews-lisp-20/throw-test.el" t)
call-interactively(find-alternate-file nil nil)
Also, buffer `**lose**' has taken the place of the original elisp file
buffer in the same (undedicated) window. The content of buffer `**lose**'
is the elisp buffer content, with the hidden sexps still invisible.
The original lisp buffer still exists, but is not displayed.
If I display it I see the whole buffer - nothing is invisible.
It seems like maybe:
(a) something causes an evaluation, which shows *Pp Eval Output*
(even for the small value `nil' - no idea why)
(b) perhaps *Pp Eval Output* becomes the current buffer (?)
(c) since it is in a dedicated window, Emacs barfs, saying it is
unable to show the orginal file in that same window.
I do not see the same problem if there is no invisible text. Buffer
*Messages* shows nothing particular. I have no idea what evaluation
led to *Pp Eval Output* being shown, nor why it would be shown for as
simple a value as nil.
Note that the elisp file buffer was NEVER shown in a dedicated window.
There were NO dedicated windows when I used `C-x C-v'. The first
dedicated window shown was *Pp Eval Output*, and the second was
*Backtrace*. There were no other dedicated windows.
This is the (re)definition of `switch-to-buffer' that I use:
(defun switch-to-buffer (buffer-or-name &optional norecord force-same-window)
"..."
(interactive
(list (read-buffer-to-switch "Switch to buffer: ")
nil 'force-same-window))
(let ((orig-buf (current-buffer))
(switch-buf (old-switch-to-buffer
buffer-or-name norecord force-same-window)))
(when (and (one-window-p t)
(not (eq switch-buf orig-buf)) ; Don't resize if same buffer.
autofit-frames-flag
(fit-frame)))
switch-buf))
where `old-switch-to-buffer' was defined this way:
(fset 'old-switch-to-buffer (symbol-function 'switch-to-buffer))
This is 100% reproducible, but as I say, this is with my setup.
Perhaps you have enough info to figure the problem out?
