OK, there you go (without your patches, currently):

I made three windows, called "1st" "2nd" and "3rd" respectively.

The results when in the same viewport:

user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "1st"))
0
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "2nd"))
1
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "3rd"))
2
user> 

So it works when in the same viewport.



The results when in different viewport (I tried several different
viewports, in all 8 directions respectively to original one):

user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "1st"))
0
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "2nd"))
0
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "3rd"))
0

But then I moved all three windows to another viewport and did the
test again (from all 8 directions in other viewports):

user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "2nd"))
1
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "3rd"))
1
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "1st"))
1

Then I moved all the windows back to original viewport and tested
from all 8 directions:

user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "2nd"))
1
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "3rd"))
1
user> (current-head (get-window-by-name "1st"))
0

It looks to be semi-random, when in different viewport.
Previously I had everywhere '0' at this point.


Did you ask for any other dual(triple:) head test, in any other
email, and I missed your post? I mean - do you want me to run more
such tests? :)

best regards
