Hi.
The documentation is a bit unclear, so I'm not 100% sure this is a bug;
it's definitely a surprising behavior, though.
I have a bit of elisp to create a temporary buffer and to run a process,
sending its output to this buffer:
(let ((output-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test-buf*")))
(with-current-buffer output-buffer
(erase-buffer)
(let ((default-directory "/tmp"))
(process-file "whoami" nil output-buffer t))))
Note that I do not ask for this buffer to be raised. On my machine
(Debian/sid amd64) this indeed does not raise the *test-buf* buffer, and
I do not even see it if I don't explicitly switch to it. This is good.
If I change the directory from "/tmp" to any TRAMP path (for instance
"/sudo::/tmp") then this elisp DOES raise *test-buf*. This difference
between normal and TRAMP behavior sounds like a bug to me.
Note that I have (process-file ... ... ... t). Changing this to nil
resolves the issue. The documentation says
Fourth arg DISPLAY non-nil means redisplay buffer as output is
inserted.
I don't know if "redisplay" includes "raise", but I do think the
behavior should be the same, TRAMP or not.
Thanks
