1. emacs -Q (in a directory not in a project)
2. Note current default-directory: some/dir
3. C-x p b (so that it will prompt for a project)
4. Select some project and RET
5. Enter a nonexisting buffer name and RET
6. The new buffer's default-directory is some/dir
Expected behavior:
6. The new buffer's default-directory is the project root of the project
you picked.
??Really? project.el changes the way Emacs creates new buffers? Is
there a reason for such a deviation (if indeed there is a deviation)?
Because otherwise my expectation would exactly what you see, because
"C-x b" behaves like that.
