Summary: BufferList does not open file in active text area

Initial Comment:
When clicking on a file in the BufferList, it does not always show in the active text area of splitted views. I suppose it does show always in the original/top most text area. I would like that it showed in the active text area.

Heh, I'll try to only click 'SUBMIT' once this time.

I think I'm talking about the BufferList plugin ... The tree-like list of
open buffers?  If the bug either of us is talking about is fixed, why is it
not downloading through the Plugin Manager?

I actually note that I've had no plugin updates in quite awhile.  Hmm. 
I'll have to check that out more thoroughly, perhaps later tonight.

Are you talking about BufferList plugin? Because I can't reproduce this
behaviour. May be because this bug is fixed - see

I second the option bit.  It's probably slightly different, but I find it
annoying when I have a split view (2+ views) and I click on a file that I
already have open in an non-focused text area: it doesn't open in the
active text area, but my focus switches to the text area in which it was
already open.  Two get the same file open in both text areas, I currently
must use another method, such as another plugin, or my keyboard.  Not as
easy as with this plugin.  :-(

Another point of view on the same subject:
With two buffers open it is often handy to get the new files
opened in the non-active buffer - especially if one wants
just take a look at the newly opened file.

Everything depends on the individual workflow/usecase - so I second this:
To have this implemented as an option for the BufferList-plugin would be
nice.

(This feature request should probably moved to the "Plugin Feature
Requests"
