--text follows this line--

I have noticed several times that under certain circumstances file buffers do
not show up in the "Buffers" menu bar list. I am not sure I can describe all
circumstances in which this occurs, but one is definitely reproducible:

If I write on the terminal 

emacsclient --no-wait <file 1> <file 2>

only <file 1> is visible in the Buffers list while <file 2> is listed only 
after pressing "List all buffers" (C-x C-b). I might add that the terminal
command "emacsclient --no-wait <file 1> ; emacsclient --no-wait <file 2>"
includes both files in the Buffers list. This behavior persists even if I
invoke emacs with the -q command line option, thus excluding the influence
of my customizations. Even if this behavior is not a bug, in my opinion it
should be changed.

I might add that this exact behavior is observable in the Windows version of
emacs 23.1 as well.

Regards,
Bostjan Vilfan

A precise, step-by-step recipe would be useful. I've tried

  emacs -Q -f server-mode
  emacsclient --no-wait file1 file2

on a Windows build of 23.1, and the Buffers menu includes both files.

FWIW, I can not reproduce this on OSX or Ubuntu 8.04.  However, one buffer is 
at the top of the buffer list, and the other at the bottom.  Is it possible 
you just missed them?

Closed because the OP says it is a problem in his setup.
