Notice in the screenshot below, the *Paradox Report*
buffer is not
displayed in the menu-bar, even though it's clearly a buffer in the
buffer-list.
An easy way to test this is to run M-: (get-buffer-create "*hello*")
, and then look for this buffer on the menu-bar.
I'm guessing the menu-bar tries to be smart and ignore some buffers the user probably doesn't care about. My question is what criteria does it use? and how can I get around it?
That is, when I create the *Paradox Report*
buffer, I want to ensure
it will get displayed on the menu-bar.
- After I manually visit the buffer once it does get displayed on the menu-bar.
- The buffer name does not start with a space (is is
"*Paradox Report*"
). - It seems this only happens on (development code for what might become) Emacs 25.

-- perhaps its worth a bug report so they know it doesn't refresh as often as it should.emacs-version
(and because there has been previous discussion on the fact that the next version will be numbered 25). But indeed, I meant the snapshot.emacs-version
numbering for development snapshots is what it is. It is the source of quite a bit of confusion, unfortunately. We should help users by clarifying, whenever possible, that a "version" such as25.0.50.1
is not Emacs 25. I have removed tagemacs-25
from posts that use it inappropriately. For now, it should apply only to discussions of what might be in the release etc., when it is released.
