address@hidden: two View-mode "quit" bugs]

[Richard Stallman]

Would someone please take a look at this, and try to fix it, and ack?

It is clear that the behaviors he describes are undesirable.
Whether burying the buffer is the right thing to do instead,
I am not sure.  What do others think is the right thing to do
in that case?

Meanwhile, finding a way to adjust the heuristics so that these
behaviors don't happen, without causing bad behavior in another case,
may be difficult.

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


I've found what I believe to be two bugs in View-quit.

I have two frames visible.  In one frame I type: C-h m C-x o C-x 1.
This makes the only window in this frame show the *Help* buffer.
Now I type "q", and the frame iconifies.

I find this quite surprising.  I would much prefer View-quit to simply
act like bury-buffer.  I certainly never want it to iconify the frame.


Now, I deiconify this frame.  Then I switch to the other frame, and in
that frame type C-x b *Help* RET C-x 1.  This makes the only window in
the other frame display the *Help* buffer.

Now I type "q".  Nothing changes.  Again I expected the help buffer to
be buried.
