Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab completion in emacs deletes my windows

Hi,

  It looks like the original algorithm was quite simple.  The attached patch will hopefully have the kind of behavior you are looking for.  Let me know how it goes.

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab completion in emacs deletes my windows

Hello everyone,

running matlab-shell 3.3.1 in emacs 23 (ubuntu 10.04), I get the
following annoying bug:
Suppose I have to windows open side by side ( source code & matlab-shell ).
In matlab-shell when I hit Tab to autocomplete for example a function
name, if this name is not unique, it will show all options in the
other (source code) window, which is fine. However, if I continue
typing until the function name or whatever I am autocompleting is
unique, and hit tab again, the window is closed and now I only have
one window open, running the matlab-shell. This is very annoying since
I have split my window again and switch to the source code buffer each
time I hit tab.

This only happens if the windows are split horizontally (left-right).

I had a look at the function matlab-shell-tab in matlab.el, but I
don't know enough lisp to see what is happening there. To me it seems
that the lines (delete-windows-on *Completions*) should only be
called, if the matlab-shell actually owns these buffers. If not, it
should just close the *Completions* buffer instead of deleting the
window

Is this standard behavior or is there something wrong with my emacs?

Thanks

Hans
