When viewing two file lists, if user presses C-x i for info on a panel's
directory or file, the info pops up correctly in the other panel. However,
when the user closes the info screen, the directory of the current panel
is shown -- NOT the directory which was being viewed before the info panel
appeared.
Sorry if this is confusing. Let me illustrate:
Left Right
\ \usr\bin
User is in left panel
Presses C-x i (or selects Info from the Right Panel menu)
Info panel appears in Right panel
User presses C-x i again to toggle info off
(or selects listing mode from Right Panel menu)
Right directory panel now shows \, not \usr\bin
IMO, after info is closed, whatever was in the panel should be restored.
