That is really a strange one and I think that it is a bug. I had never seen it
before to I tried it out. Here is what I did and saw.
C-x C-f (saw that prompt was C:\) temp\test.c
C-x C-b
(saw
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
test.c 0 C c:/temp/test.c )
Menu File -> Open File test2.c
C-x C-b
(saw
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. test2.c 0 C c:/temp/test2.c
test.c 0 C c:\temp\test.c )
I also tried changing the backslashes to forward slashes at the C-x C-f prompt
but saw the same result. After the windows dialog is used the first time the
forward slashes in the first buffer name are changed to back slashes while the
backslashes that were in the windows dialog are changed to forward slashes.
This makes me think that it is a bug.
Here is another sequence:
C-x C-f /temp/test.c
C-x C-b
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. test3.c 0 C c:/temp/test3.c
C-x C-f /temp/test2.c
C-x C-b
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. test3.c 0 C c:/temp/test3.c
test2.c 0 C c:/temp/test2.c
windows dialog test3.c
C-x C-b
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. test3.c 0 C c:/temp/test3.c
test2.c 0 C c:\temp\test2.c
test.c 0 C c:/temp/test.c
windows dialog test2.c
C-x C-b
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. test2.c<2> 0 C c:/temp/test2.c
test.c 0 C c:\temp\test.c
test3.c 0 C c:\temp\test3.c
test2.c 0 C c:\temp\test2.c
For now I think that the best work around method is to use one method or the
other to open files.

Subject: [h-e-w] Strange Problem (perhaps even a bug!)
We have discovered some strange behaviour here when using
the windows dialog find-file (i.e. doing a find file via the
menu).
To reproduce this
open a file say c:\temp\test.c (does not matter how you open this one)
open a file using the menu bar c:\temp\test2.c
Now view the buffers and you get
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. crap.c 12 C d:/temp/test1.c
test.c 18 C d:\temp\test.c
*scratch* 0 Lisp Interaction
* *Messages* 554 Fundamental
*Compile-Log* 0 Fundamental
As you can see test.c has the directory separators in
"windows" way
Now if you open test.c again via find file you get two test.c
buffers.
Has anyone else come across this?
Is there a work around (other than not using the
stupid windows file open dialogue) ?
Best regards
Paul
