Helm: New popup when more than 2 buffers

[Cmdv]

This feature would of been nice if it was an opt in rather than now having to opt out 😄
Might only be Spacemacs related:

Expected behavior

Pop-up to be a single buffer not a reflection of current workspace.

Actual behavior (from emacs-helm.sh if possible, see note at the bottom)

Steps to reproduce (recipe)

open more than two buffers then search project or file.

Backtraces if any (M-x toggle-debug-on-error)

Describe versions of Helm, Emacs, operating system, etc.

Spacemacs develop branch

Are you using emacs-helm.sh to reproduce this bug (yes/no):

IMPORTANT NOTE

Helm provides a script named emacs-helm.sh which runs Helm in a neutral
environment: no other packages and only minimal settings.

When possible, use it to reproduce your Helm issue to ensure no other package is
interfering.

To run it, simply switch to the directory where Helm is installed and call ./emacs-helm.sh.

Thanks.

I’ve found that it’s on purpose: https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/commit/221b6ad8351c9529a1755b830bd8c4fbf1838e90

The fix is to (setq helm-use-frame-when-more-than-two-windows nil).

Personally, I don’t mind the popup which seems to be close to the cursor, but it’s completely useless because it’s a small frame with at lest 3 windows so everything is cut off. :)

Changed default to nil. Note that the crap you see is only related to Spacemacs.

[Cmdv]

cool thank you @thierryvolpiatto
though that Spacemacs would be the culprit for the messy looking frame 😢

For the record and Google: the inherit thing can be fixed using (setq persp-init-new-frame-behaviour-override nil)
