bug#21304: 24.5; follow-switch-to-buffer changes positions


From: Milan Zamazal
Subject: bug#21304: 24.5; follow-switch-to-buffer changes positions
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 20:09:33 +0200


`follow-switch-to-buffer' doesn't retain cursor position nor buffer
position within the windows.

How to reproduce the bug:

- Start Emacs.
- Type `C-h n' (NEWS gets displayed)
- Type `C-h C-c' (COPYING gets displayed)
- Type `C-x 3' (the window gets split)
- Type `M-x follow-mode RET' (follow mode gets enabled)
- Type `C-v' (the buffer gets scrolled -- note the cursor position)
- Type `M-x follow-switch-to-buffer RET RET' (NEWS gets displayed)
- Type `M-x follow-switch-to-buffer RET RET' (COPYING gets displayed again)

I'd expect the window contents and cursor position would be the same as
after typing `C-v'; there is no reason why they should be changed just
after switching to another buffer and back.  But they are changed.

I think the problem is in the order of window selection and buffer
switching in follow-switch-to-buffer.  When I change the function body
to something like

  (let ((orig-window (selected-window)))
    (dolist (w (follow-all-followers))
      (unless (eq w orig-window)
        (select-window w)
        (switch-to-buffer buffer)))
    (select-window orig-window)
    (switch-to-buffer buffer)))

then it works as expected.
