bayes prefix + frame : possible bug

[Luis Pecht]

Hi just want to confirm a weird behavior when using bayes prefix + frame.

bayes command changes current frame to the default. Is that the expected behavior?

. clear all

. frame create temp

. cwf temp

. webuse auto
(1978 automobile data)

. reg price mpg

. pwf
  (current frame is default)

maybe caused by lines 133–137 in bayes.ado

tempname wrkframe
//preserve
frame copy default `wrkframe'
frame change `wrkframe'

I can replicate this problem on my setup. And if you take away the -bayes:- prefix, things work just fine. This definitely smells like a bug. I recommend you report it to Stata Tech Support.

[Luis Pecht]

ok, just want to make sure it was not due to any specific to my setup.

I will advice Stata Tech Support.
