you could try saving the window configuration before you go off
to look at the other buffer `window-configuration-to-register'
(where-is 'window-configuration-to-register)
-| window-configuration-to-register is on C-x r w
(describe-function 'window-configuration-to-register)
-| window-configuration-to-register is an interactive compiled
-| Lisp function in `register'.
-| (window-configuration-to-register REGISTER &optional ARG)
-|
-| Store the window configuration of the selected frame in
-| register REGISTER. Use C-x r j to restore the configuration.
-| Argument is a character, naming the register.
