Hello,
I'm having a problem with newly created frames when running ‘emacsclient -c
path/to/file’: If there is already a frame showing the file, a new frame is
created (as intended) but it displays a *scratch* buffer, instead of the already
existing buffer for that file.
Expecting a configuration problem, I have recently posted this on help-gnu-emacs
[1], but received no reply.
-- Reproduce --
It's not my fault:
killall -9 emacs
rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/
Now request first frame and start emacs daemon, works as expected (well, almost:
I'd prever emacs not to assign focus to the new frame, but that can be
configured away [2]).
emacsclient -n -a '' -c ~/.bashrc
Now, as long as the frame showing ‘~/.bashrc’ is visible (potentially on another
desktop), the following three commands each open a new frame, each of them
showing *scratch*:
emacsclient -n -a '' -c ~/.bashrc
emacsclient -n -c ~/.bashrc
emacsclient -c ~/.bashrc
When there's no frame showing ‘~/.bashrc’, then each of the above creates a new
frame showing the existing buffer.
-- Expected bahavior --
Check whether there is a buffer visiting test. If so, show that buffer in the
new frame. Otherwise, visit the file in a new buffer and display that one.
-- Information --
‘emacs-version’ reports “GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d
scroll bars) of 2011-04-10 on brahms, modified by Debian”
Actually I still assume this could be configured, but on help-gnu-emacs, nobody
seems to know [1].
Thank you!
Stefan
