Gnus article buffers are not restored #92

Closed Jehops closed 5 years ago

Jehops commented 5 years ago

These steps do not (always) restore saved window configurations involving Gnus articles.

  1. Open a Gnus article
  2. Split the window, with the Gnus article displayed in one window and something else in the other.
  3. Run eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-2 and make meaningful changes to the windows.
  4. Run eyebrowse-switch-to-window-config-1. Here, the saved configuration in 1 is not usually displayed.

Maybe this is more of a feature request, because the solution probably involves something specific to how Gnus finds and displays articles.

Sorry, I don't use Gnus and I don't plan on using it to repro this. Neither "make meaningful changes to the windows" nor "is not usually displayed" tell me what the issue is. Note that a window configuration is a set of windows containing buffers, if this package recreates windows displaying the buffers, then its job has been done. If it doesn't, then that's a bug. If you're unhappy for a different reason, like because you'd prefer the buffer to contain something else, that's something up to you to solve.
