Hi, sorry for not helping with the issue in time. In the commit from 2 weeks ago, you added this comment: > ;; Do we really care - the window/buffer relationship > ;; should not be affected by rotating. before the user-error message it gives during rotate-window if all windows are dedicated. Although from a technical perspective this is not necessary, but there's 2 reasons why I can think of as to why it should be that way. (1) Although rotate-window does move windows around, it dosn't feel that way to the user as much as it feels like the buffers are being moved around in the windows. If so, it would seem intutive that windows that are dedicated to the buffer stay that way. (2) If some(but not all) windows are dedicated, then those windows are simply not rotated and the other windows rotate around them. So the fact that dedicated windows will not be rotated seems consistant with this feature.
