After

gvim -i NONE -N -u NONE --noplugin -U NONE -c "h number"

I can no longer move away from the buffer with e.g. :bN or :bn.

Doing so returns error E85.

Seems I forgot some details:

- The behavior described is an OS-independent regression from version 9.1.???
- I'm using the latest version of vim/gvim 9.1.1582.
- The behavior is perceived only with help buffers (i.e. ft=help).
- Setting ft=text and modifiable doesn't remedy the problem.

Hi,
this behaviour has been changed in v9.1.0557 to work as documented,
please see :h :bn for the expected behaviour.

If you open the help at :h changed-9.2 and scroll down until the heading
Ex commands:
you see it is documented there.

Thanks,
Chris
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
