Emacs bookmark-jump: how to jump to bmark and only one of the split-windows changes contents?

I start with a file visible in one window; then i do a split-window, therefore now both windows show the same contents (at same buffer point).

Now I want to jump to a different location in the file via a bookmark in only 1 of the 2 windows, but when i execute the bookmark-jump, both windows end up at the bookmark's point.

Leave the other window's point alone!

How can i configure this?

Thanks

(running on linux, GNU Emacs 23.2.1; xemacs does not behave this way)

post-note:

What I'd like to do is to have the same file shown on both windows, and while one window (w1) shows a section of the file, in the other window (w2) I jump around to different sections, using the various bookmarks, while w1's position does not change.

Solution

  • Answering own question (after a couple of years):

    started using emacs 24 (24.3.1), which "fixed" this unwanted behavior.
