Hi,

Recently I found a strange behavior about `switch-to-buffer' when
`switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is t.

At the moment, by default, `switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is set
as nil, so `switch-to-buffer' does not be affected by some display-buffer
options, such as `display-buffer-overriding-action',
`display-buffer-alist', etc.

However, if `switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is t,
 `switch-to-buffer' can adapt these display-buffer options. This feature
was introduced by the commit 3f36651c6470bab951f12f486eb4928235f1ba50 and
the implementation is to call `pop-to-buffer-same-window' inside
`switch-to-buffer'.

More details, see
bug#32790
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=3D3f36651c6470bab951=
f12f486eb4928235f1ba50
https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2018-11/msg00962.html

The problem is that the `switch-to-buffer' also obeys
`switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' while `pop-to-buffer-same-window'
doesn't. Therefore this new feature has to be compatible with
`switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' too. This has been implemented in
that commit but not quite right IMHO.

Let's examine the different behaviors when
`switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is nil and t in `switch-to-buffer':

- When `switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is nil,
`switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' is t (or nil, no matter actually)
and `(eq buffer (window-buffer))`, the `switch-to-buffer' will do nothing.

- When `switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is t and
`switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' is t, `switch-to-buffer' will set
window-point if the target window is the same as the current window (yep,
that is the switch semantics). However, it does not consider what happens
when the target buffer is the same as the current buffer, just like `(eq
buffer (window-buffer))` in the 1st situation!

BTW the `switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' docs is a bit confusion:

> This variable is ignored if the buffer is already displayed in
> the selected window or never appeared in it before, or if
> =E2=80=98switch-to-buffer=E2=80=99 calls =E2=80=98pop-to-buffer=E2=80=99 =
to display the buffer,
> or non-nil =E2=80=98switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions=E2=80=99 displa=
ys it
> in another window.

It doesn't mention what happens if non-nil
=E2=80=98switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions=E2=80=99 displays it in the =
same window with
the buffer that is already displayed. I also don't know whether the
sentence i.e. "if the buffer is already displayed in the selected window"
includes =E2=80=98switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions=E2=80=99 is t.

The following are the minimal steps to reproduce.

## Test with default settings:

1. Emacs -Q

2. Open a .el file, e.g. window.el, and keep the cursor location at 1

3. Click buffers menu -> *scratch* to switch buffer

4. Click buffers menu -> window.el to switch buffer back

5. Move the current location to L24

6. M-x switch-to-buffer window.el

The result is that the buffer and window state keeps original, everything
is fine.

## Test with switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions =3D t

1. Emacs -Q

2. M-x eval-expression (setq switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions t)

2. Open a .el file, e.g. window.el, and keep the cursor location at 1

3. Click buffers menu -> *scratch* to switch buffer

4. Click buffers menu -> window.el to switch buffer back

5. Move the current location to L24

6. M-x switch-to-buffer window.el

The result is that the current cursor location jumps to location at 1!

This inconsistent behavior convinced me that this is a bug.

Emacs 29.3 on Window.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Siyuan Chen

I confirm this in Emacs 30.  Maybe Martin could suggest how to fix this.

A recipe without involving a file is

1. M-: (setq switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions t)
2. C-x b *Messages*
3. C-x b *scratch*
4. Move point
5. C-x b *scratch*

In step 2 we record the point of *scratch*.  In 5 we go there because
the 'set-window-buffer' called by C-x b decides that the window already
shows buffer and does not record its current position.  I attach a patch
that should fix this and the original scenario.  It does _not_ fix the
case where instead of C-x b plain 'set-window-buffer' is used.  If we
wanted to fix that, we'd have to call 'record-window-buffer' from there
even when the old and the new buffer are the same.  I'm not sure whether
we want to do that.

This patch fixed my original use case, which did not touch
'set-window-buffer'.

Thanks.

Best regards,
