[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Congratulations!  You may have unearthed a bug in Ediff!

Please make a concise and accurate summary of what happened
and mail it to the address above.
-----------------------------------------------------------

1) Open several ediff-files3 sessions (whether on single frame or
multiple). Say sessions 1, 2, 3 ...
2) focus the control panel of a diff session-1
3) click 'R' to show registry. A new frame is opened with registry
buffer, raised and focused.
4) select session-1. Click 'RET' to show the session.
The frame with this session will be raised **but not be focused**.
6) focus this frame's contron panel and click 'R' to go back to
registry.
The registry frame will be raised **but not focused**.
7) focus registy and select session-2. Click 'RET'.
session-2 frame is raised and focused.
8) click 'R' back to registry
The registry frame will be raised **but not focused**.
9) focus registy and select session-2. Click 'RET'.
session-2 frame is raised **but not focused**.

Generally another frame you ask to see is raised - but is only focused
the first time it is opened - on later requests it will be raised but
not focused.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this issue.  Do you have a recipe to reproduce
it, starting from "emacs -Q"?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
