You start with two windows, A and B. You ask to find definitions in another window from A, because you want to preserve its contents. The symbol you searched for happened to have multiple definitions so you decide to browse them from *xref* using bare 'n' and 'p' before settling on the definition you want. Those "prospects" can't be shown in A because that would break the original "other-window" contract/intention, and they can't be shown in B because that's where you're browsing from. They need a new window C which is not available. When the frame is relatively small (as it is with emacs -Q), C is created by splitting horizontally, which is kind of akward, but the decision where to create C changes with larger frames.

OK, makes sense to me. Thanks for the reminder.

So, I haven't been able to repro the bugs you mentioned. That's probably good.
