Steps to reproduce: * In terminal 1: emacs -Q -nw * M-x server-start RET * M-x * In terminal 2: emacsclient -t foo.txt Expected result: * terminal 1 displays *scratch* * terminal 2 displays foo.txt Actual result: * Both terminal 1 and terminal 2 display *scratch* * 5 seconds later, terminal 1 displays foo.txt prepended with "1;2802;0cd"; terminal 2 displays *scratch* (this is the opposite of the expected result) Tested in xterm.
