According to the Elisp manual `find-file' does

          (switch-to-buffer (find-file-noselect filename nil nil wildcards))

which doesn't use the selected window if it's strongly dedicated to its buffer.

So we should either change the manual or revert the change

	* files.el (find-file): Always use selected-window.
