iswitchb-read-buffer: check that iswitchb-exit is not 'usefirst (set when user presses RETURN to select buffer) before running: ;; This happens for example if the buffer was chosen with the mouse. (setq iswitchb-matches (list iswitchb-final-text))) iswitchb-exit-minibuffer: set iswitchb-exit to 'usefirst. These changes were made to fix the following bug reported by Markus Rost and John Wiegley: Evaluate: (progn (iswitchb-mode 1) (get-buffer-create "12") (get-buffer-create "1") (iswitchb-buffer)) You get prompted in the minibuffer. Type "1". The minibuffer shows iswitch 1{12,1} Hit RET. You find yourself in buffer "1" instead of "12", as you would expect from the documentation. This bug was introduced when iswitchb-read-buffer was updated to allow user to select items from the *Completions* buffer with the mouse.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
