I've run into this problem as well, although I don't particularly care
to see the bbdb entry when I'm reading mail or news. (I have
bbdb-use-pop-up set to nil.)
The problem I had was when I was using the framepop package by David Smith
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Framepop takes anything written to a
temporary buffer and displays it in a frame reserved for such activity
(*Help*, *Completions*, and the result of some other commands). This
feature can be disable for particular temporary buffers, in case you don't
want your compilation output in that other frame.
The function bbdb-display-records-1 displays the BBDB buffer in a temporary
buffer (using with-output-to-temp-buffer), so framepop is more than happy
to pop up the buffer in that other frame which is exactly how I like it.
When I want to find out info on someone, I don't want it changing the
windows in the current frame.
Since, the function bbdb-pop-up-bbdb-buffer does not consider other frames,
I have simply disabled it and framepop takes care of the rest. Since I
sometimes do work from home, I have it conditionally disabled when framepop
is loaded.
