Earlier you said that you wanted a behavior like.

so even if TWO's window were selected you wanted to show THREE in that
window.

Have you tried the `th/display-buffer' I sent you earlier?  It should
always use the right-/bottommost window after deciding not to split.

If you want a different behavior you'd have to tell me what you want
instead.
