Yes, W2 is showing the Dired buffer. This is a clearer picture:
______________________________________
| ____________________________________ |
|| ||
|| ||
|| Dired ||
|| ||
||_________________W2_________________||
| ____________________________________ |
|| ||
||_________________W3_________________||
|__________________W1__________________|

The problem is that currently `fit-window-to-buffer' in
`dired-pop-to-buffer' increases the height of the unrelated window W3
like is shown below:
______________________________________
| ____________________________________ |
|| Dired ||
||_________________W2_________________||
| ____________________________________ |
|| *Marked Files* ||
||_________________W4_________________||
| ____________________________________ |
|| ||
|| ||
|| ||
|| ||
||_________________W3_________________||
|__________________W1__________________|
This is very ugly.
But when the *Marked Files* window is created when `window-nest' is t, then
`fit-window-to-buffer' doesn't enlarge the unrelated window W3 since
a new internal window W5 forces it to resize the Dired window W2:
______________________________________
| ____________________________________ |
|| __________________________________ ||
||| |||
||| Dired |||
|||________________W2________________|||
|| __________________________________ ||
||| *Marked Files* |||
|||________________W4________________|||
||_________________W5_________________||
| ____________________________________ |
|| ||
||_________________W3_________________||
|__________________W1__________________|
Unless there is a way to tell `fit-window-to-buffer' to change the height
of the upper window instead of the lower window, setting `window-nest' to t
can fix `dired-pop-to-buffer' to not resize other unrelated windows.
