Hello.  I'm not sure whether this is bug or not.  Anyway, I'll report it.

Emacs version is 18.55.

[Reproduction]

Open empty buffer, say 'foo', and type the following two line

    Hello,
    world

Then split 'foo' window into two by

    ^x 2

The screen looks like this.


    +-----------------------+
    |Hello,                 |
    |world                  |
    |                       |
    |-----------------------|
    |Hello,                 |
    |world                  |
    |                       |
    |                       |
    +-----------------------+

Now, the cursor (the point) must reside in the upper window.

Move the cursor (in the upper window) to the beginning of buffer by

    Meta <

And invoke the command 'scroll-other-window' by typing

    Meta ^v

Error message appears (it is OK), but, the cursor (in the upper window) has
moved to the end of the buffer!

I think the cursor (the point) in the upper window should not move in this case.

Thank you.
