Hi,

(opening new thread with a clearer subject)

I realized just now that in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 are affected by the following bug: If you use follow-delete-other-windows-and-split in an emacsclient no more emacsclient windows will be raised.

To reproduce it:

$ emacs

M-x: follow-delete-other-windows-and-split

To reproduce it:

$ emacs
M-x start-server
$ emacsclient -c file
M-x follow-delete-other-windows-and-split
$ emacsclient -c file2

I'd like to know if other distros suffer the same bug and if there is a solution

TIA

Are you using the default version of Emacs that comes with those versions
of Ubuntu? (Emacs23)

I am on Linux Mint 14 (Which is based on Ubuntu 10.04) with the following
Emacs PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cassou/emacs/ubuntu

After following your steps, I do not get the problem you described, which
makes me wonder if it is exclusively an Emacs23 problem, or a problem with
the version of Emacs23 that is in the default repositories.

My solution for you right now would be to just add the above PPA. You
should be able to do that with the following:

$ add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/emacs
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install emacs24

Obviously, these require root, so you may either "su" first, or prefix the
above with "sudo".

Here is a link to the main Launchpad page on the PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs

I hope this helps you out some.

I was using quantal default emacs24 that uses 24.1.

Thanks for the hint.

24.2 does not work yet but emacs-snapshot does work. In fact today I
received the mail that closes the bug saying that 24.2 still sufferes that
bug but current does not:
