Okay, I have finally found some time to get back to this (been marking exam scripts, for my sins... ;-). If the capture template prompts for information, the whole frame is cleared and only the bare capture buffer is shown in the frame while the prompts are processed. This is my main problem: I often want to include some information from the existing buffers in my org capture and all the information is hidden just when I want it. Once the prompts have been answered, the windows shown in the frame change with the original window present as well as the capture window. This is too late. All of the above confirmed with emacs -Q. The question, I guess, is why does org-capture need to take over the whole frame while processing the prompts in the capture template? If it needs to display the capture buffer while handling the prompts, why not display it as it will once the prompts have been processed?
