Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 33.5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/tail.el
If an M-x tail-file finds new content to display while you're in the
minibuffer its process filter throws an error. Eg.
touch /tmp/foo
emacs -q
M-x tail-file /tmp/foo
M-x find-file <-- sit at the prompt
echo hi >>/tmp/foo <-- in the shell in another tty
=>
error in process filter: tail-disp-window: Wrong type argument: framep, nil
The debugger says it's
(select-frame (other-frame 1))
in tail-disp-window. Apparently other-frame returns nil if there's no
other frames, and select-frame doesn't like that.
I can't tell what that special case for the minibuffer is supposed to
do. I think I hoped the tail window would show at the bottom of the
frame, above the minibuffer, the same as when you're in an ordinary
buffer.
