There is apparently some change in master relative to 27 in the way ff-find-other-file works.

Visit a_file.h, position point after the last line (an elisp sexp in a C comment), type C-x C-e. A new window opens visiting a_file.c, that buffer is current, as expected. Now look at the message displayed; it is the result of (current-buffer). In emacs 27, it is #, as expected. But in emacs master, it is #. Apparently (ff-find-other-file) returns to the current buffer after opening the other window, even though the other buffer is current after the progn finishes? -- -- Stephe
