Emacs invocation terminal vs X behavior different?

[Nicholas Papadonis]

Hi Folks,

I'm observing two different behaviors when invoking Emacs with X and
without X.

a) $ ssh deb
    $ emacs /etc/issue.net

    (issue.net is displayed as a buffer in Emacs session)

b) $ ssh -X deb
    $ emacs /etc/issue.net

    (Emacs displays welcoming screen, issue.net is a loaded buffer that
must be switched to)

This is with GNU Emacs 25.1.1.

Does anyone know how to get behavior (a) when invoking Emacs inside an X
Session?

Thank you
