  • make-frame just creates a frame displaying the current buffer. Is that what you want? Is the current buffer what you want in the new frame? Commented Sep 10, 2020 at 19:25
  • I would like ediff to use the new frame for its buffer-window arrangements plus I want ediff not to fiddle with the window layout in the old frame. Does this make sense? Commented Sep 10, 2020 at 22:42

  • @phils thanks for chiming in! I've just tried to advise ediff-setup-windows-multiframe (which is called fromediff-window-setup-function) to make a frame before all the setup, but it seems to be already too late: the new frame is made, but ediff arranges the buffer still in the old frame. :-( Commented Sep 11, 2020 at 5:02
