`next-window' does not behave as documented WRT visible frames |
Date: |
Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:14:36 -0800 |
`next-window' and related functions like `display-buffer' say in their docstrings and in the source code comments that an argument of 0 or 'visible will consider windows on visible or visible-or-iconified frames. However, the actual behavior is to consider only frames on the current terminal. The attached patch updates the documentation to match the behavior.
Legal note: I have a copyright assignment on file, and my employer, Google, also has a copyright assignment on file.

Thank you for the patch, which is now applied. Sorry for the delay.

For the record; your assignment appears to only be for Gnus, not for Emacs.
However, this change is small enough not to need an assignment.
