Hi, I found a bug involving indirect buffers when following links. If I have one file with a link to a second file and I have that second file opened with an indirect buffer narrowed such that the link is not contained in the narrowed region, org may fail to follow the link. Basically, if a file is opened in several indirect buffers, org only looks in the buffer (indirect or otherwise) most recently touched. I have seen org do this before with buffer cycling and that has been fixed. I'm guessing this is a related issue, but I have tracked it down yet. I guess the easiest 'right' behavior would be to have the link open the base buffer for the file. I have to admit though, when doing a heading search where the heading is already in its own indirect buffer, I like it when it finds that buffer. I can't think of a good set of rules to define that behavior. Edd
Unfortunately I have also not found a better solution. So
it now should use the base buffer, and widen it if necessary.
