This problem should be fixed in the Minibuffer explorer plugin. When you
select a buffer for editing, the Minibuffer explorer plugin should do the
following:
1. If the selected buffer is already displayed in a window, jump to that
window.
2. Otherwise, find a window showing a buffer with 'buftype' option
set to empty. Edit the selected buffer in this window.
3. Otherwise, open a new window and edit the selected buffer.
