Subject: 26.0.90; Double-click opens wrong file
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2017 17:00:49 +1300

When I double-click a file on my OS desktop or in a file browser window,
Emacs visits a different file instead.

Recipe to reproduce:

  touch 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt
  Emacs -Q
  Drag-n-drop 1.txt into Emacs. Emacs visits 1.txt
  On the desktop, double-click 2.txt. Emacs (re)visits 1.txt.
  Double-click 3.txt. Emacs visits 2.txt.
  Double-click 1.txt. Emacs visits 3.txt.
  etc

I originally discussed this issue here
[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2017-11/msg00000.html],
but I've since narrowed it down to the recipe above.

Hi Nick, I've pushed a fix for this into emacs 26. Can you please give
it a go?
