In ediff-buffers mode, anytime you lose focus out of the ediff command window (either by explicitly changing it OR executing an ediff selection of a diff (via the 'a' or 'b' keys), all subsequent commands in the ediff command window lose focus out of the window and you have to re-establish focus after every ediff command.
Try this to reproduce:
cp ~/.profile /tmp/bufa
cp ~/.profile /tmp/bufbb
sed 's/x/y/' bufbb > bufb
emacs /tmp/bufa /tmp/bufb
In emacs diff the two buffers with M-x ediff-buffers
In the ediff command window
n
n
now change focus to any other window on your desktop OR pick diff 'a' or 'b' to apply.
now change focus back to the ediff window
n
focus should have jumped out of the ediff command window to one of the diffed buffers.
26.2 did not do that; once back in the ediff command window, focus stayed there after each ediff command. This issue makes it very annoying to process diffs.
