This is because command-sequence now disables background export, i.e., cloning, so we do wait for the command to finish. We don't do that when just given the simple command. A "buffer-wait" command after the buffer-export command would therefore come too late. What would work would be buffer-export-wait or, perhaps, some kind of global "background-disable" command that would do precisely that. Riki
