Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 15:16:16 +0200

This patch fixes the problem, but I'm hesitating to apply it even if it
looks kinda-sorta "obviously correct": It changes the logic to only
check whether the buffer is displayed in the current frame, which makes
emacsclient -c work.  But why was the all-frame argument added?  It's
been there since at least the 90s...

I can't see any adverse affects on emacsclient -t either.

Anybody with any insight here?
