kill-buffer kills the dired frame

[Peter Gacs]

Enter your bug report here.

I start Aquamacs, then turn off customizations using
Help>Diagnose...>Start Aquamacs without customizations.
Then I go into directory named kut using C-xC-f.
In the directory, I go into a subdirectory named ait using Return.
Then I want to go back to directory kut using Kill-buffer (C-x k).
The frame disappears.  (The kut buffer did not go away, only its frame.)

Okay, thanks.
In a vanilla Aquamacs, you have one-buffer-one-frame-mode switched on  
(Options / Show Buffers in New Frames).
This will always cause the kill-buffer command to remove the frame.

Try switching this mode off - does that help?  I can't reproduce your  
issue with one-buffer-one-frame-mode switched off.
My understanding was that you had it off anyways.

You may argue that this behavior of kill-buffer is unsuitable in cases  
where the buffer was created to be shown in the current frame/window  
anyways, and I tend to agree.
