After you do ":set nohidden" there still is one hidden buffer. Thus the
first TestBuf() after that will work a bit different from the next ones.
I do see a problem: The info about the current buffer is displayed even
though you edited another buffer. Thus the message should be given for
the un-hidden file but it's given for the other file, for which a
message was already given. I'll fix that.
