	Completion for "C-x b" does not include current buffer
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:32:10 -0500

    Hmm... I'd expect the user to know in which buffer she is when she hits
    C-x b.

I often switch to a buffer without noticing I am already in it.
I have not made a note of the specific circumstances.  If you really
want to know, I will start noting that down.

I think one case is after some other command that switched buffers,
such as C-x k, or C-c C-c in a mail buffer.  In that situation I start
typing C-x b R TAB RET before my mind recognizes which buffer it left
me in.
