window stops updating after switching windows

I think that's because the point in the scrolling window is left somewhere else that (point-max), do you want to try proposing a fix?

I'll give it a try.

Cool, thanks!

Attached is a fix I put together that seems to work reasonably well. I'm
new to Elisp, so if I've done anything seemingly dumb, please feel free to
change it.

The basic idea is to create a hash table containing the buffer names (keys)
and flags (values) indicating whether the point was on the last line as
soon as C-x o is pressed. Then once a new window is selected, the hash
table is passed into reset-point, and if the flag=1, the point is moved to
point-max.

You can test this by opening 3 windows, and running a simple bash loop
printing out a counter ever second. As long as the point is on the last
line when C-x o is pressed, it should be moved to the last line upon
choosing a window.

The problem I'm still having is if the timeout occurs or the user presses
C-g. I added a call to reset-point for those cases, but it doesn't seem to
work. Maybe you'll know why.

Thanks,
Adam

I think you need to make a git branch and a proper pull request, because I'm not seeing your attachment from the github website...
