Subject: Buffer->Frames->xxx don't work when "msb-mode" is enabled, also menu
	does not include all frames
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 07:30:55 +0100

Hi!

When using "msb-mode", the Buffers->Frames->xxx menu item does not
work. Emacs simply responds:

    Wrong type argument: commandp, menu-bar-select-frame

In addition, if the same buffer is the selected window in two frames,
only one of them is included in the menu.

Steps to repeat:

Emacs -Q
C-x 5 2
M-x msb-mode RET
Select Buffers->Frames->*scratch*

The above demonstrates both problems.

Fixed in emacs-23 branch.

I don't see it. With your example:

> C-x 5 2
> M-x msb-mode RET
> Select Buffers->Frames->*scratch*

my Buffers menu, even in an unfixed Emacs, contains:

Frames (2) -> *scratch*
              *scratch*

(But I am not using the NS build.)

Please include 7902 @ debbugs in all replies.

Yes, I checked the trunk.

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

I tried reproducing this with Emacs 28 on Macos, but everything seems to
work fine for me, so I'm closing this bug report.  If you're still
seeing this in recent Emacs versions, please respond to the debbugs
address and we'll reopen.
