bug#37390: 26.3; ediff-buffers appears to have a focus issue

[Matthew Persico]

As for diagnosis, I’ll try to get to it by end of week. I have a task I absolutely have to finish this week. I am also currently on the train.  :-)

I *can* tell you from here that I am connecting to my Linux vms via Exceed on Demand, an enterprise version of hummingbird exceed running on a windows laptop and the windows are free floating on the windows side. There’s no vm-side window manager.

I did notice that my vm has different fonts after the rebuild so I am betting the culprit is probably the X software. But I have no record of the software versions before the rebuild, so I don’t know how useful that information will be.

Split window horizontally? Oh man I have to try that!

'ediff-window-setup-function' has a misguided default value.  Luckily
you can change it - the speedbar, for example, doesn't allow to do
that.  I'm using 'ediff-setup-windows-plain' ever since together with
'ediff-split-window-function' set to 'split-window-horizontally'.
