Ah, ok, that's different then. I thought you were getting a scratch
buffer displayed when one hadn't been visible previously. What you are
seeing is standard behaviour in Aquamacs. You can see the same
behaviour with both slime and shell buffers. A number of people have
complained about it in the past, but I think it's been present in
aquamacs for at least the last couple of releases. It would be better
if you took this issue to the aquamacs developers mailing list if you
want it "fixed", as it's not a slime problem.
