Right, exactly. Sorry for the wrong wording! I will try to be more accurate below, let's see how it goes :)

This works better, but still in a somewhat surprising fashion at times. Again with a clean installation of AUCTeX 11.88.4 (setting "TeX-source-correlate-mode" to t in my .emacs), I observe the following: I run "emacs draft5.tex". Then, inside that emacs frame: "C-x 5 2". That creates a new frame still showing draft5.tex. In that new frame, I open "BC-tiling.tex" using the "Open File" toolbar button. I open draft5.pdf in evince from a terminal. So far so good, this is what I see: https://www.mpp.mpg.de/~inaki/auctex3.png Now select (i.e. give focus in the WM) the frame showing draft5.tex. If I Ctrl+Click in evince this frame changes to the right place, good: https://www.mpp.mpg.de/~inaki/auctex4.png If instead I have the frame showing BC-tiling.tex with focus, and Ctrl+Click in evince, it is the frame showing BC-tiling.tex that reacts, and I get the following: https://www.mpp.mpg.de/~inaki/auctex5.png The frame showing draft5.tex does not react at all in this case (I scrolled a bit the position in that buffer before ctrl+clicking in evince to make that manifest). It seems like in this case emacs should have enough info to say something like "if I am showing draft5.tex in some frame, just bring that (WM) window forward, and don't touch any other frames", which is ideal, I think. Would something like this be possible? > Tassilo (Embeddings for the non-toric Pezzo singularities, what?!?) :-) Sorry, using whatever I have at hand for examples :) Thanks, Iñaki _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
