thanks
I can confirm that the patch by Eli Zaretskii works, with a
difference compared to find-tag: find-tag opens the first
file whose name matches the searched string whereas
xref-find-definitions opens a new buffer with all matches,
forcing the user to use many keystrokes (or worse: reach
for the mouse :)) to choose a match.
I suppose this change of behavior is intentional, consistent
with all other cross-references, and only affects ergonomy;
the patch more importantly restores the functionality that
was previously lost.
