[BUMP, PATCH] (26.0.90; When *xref* window is needed, original window-sw

User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/26.0.90 (gnu/linux)

Ping,

Hoping someone can take a look at this bug I reported a week ago.  Here
are two very simple Emacs -Q recipes that demonstrate it.

   emacs -Q
   C-x 3 [split-window-right]
   C-x 2 [split-window-below]
   M-. xref-backend-definitions RET [xref-find-definitions]
   C-n [next-line]
   RET [xref-goto-xref]

Expected the definition to be found in the original window where I
pressed M-. but instead it was found in another. Another case:

   emacs -Q
   C-x 4 . xref-backend-definitions RET [xref-find-definitions-other-window]
   C-n
   RET

Expected the definition to be found in some other window, different from
the one I pressed M-. on. Instead went to the same one. Also, in both
situations, expected the window configuration to be the same as if I had
searched for, say xref-backend-functions.

This is fixed by the patches that I reattach after minor tweaks. The
general idea is to have the *xref*, whose sudden appearance is hard to
predict, obtrude as little as possible on the user's window
configuration.

João

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Honor window-switching intents in xref-find-definitions

When there is more than one xref to jump to, and an *xref* window
appears to help the user choose, the original intent to open a
definition another window or frame is remembered when the choice to go
to or show a reference is finally made.

* lisp/progmodes/xref.el (xref--show-pos-in-buf): Rewrite.
(xref--original-window-intent): New variable.
(xref--original-window): Rename from xref--window and move up
here for clarity.
(xref--show-pos-in-buf): Rewrite.  Don't take SELECT arg here.
(xref--show-location): Handle window selection decision here.
(xref--window): Rename to xref--original-window.
(xref-show-location-at-point): Don't attempt window management here.
(xref--show-xrefs): Ensure display-action intent is saved.
