I update to latest helm from MELPA, I found it introduce a new bug for helm-buffer-list. Here is the step to reproduce this bug:

1. rm recentf # this ensure a clean environment
   What makes you think there is a relation between buffers-list and
   recentf?
2. start emacs and open a file, assume it is my-sample.el
3. close that file
   What mean "close that file"?
   i.e What are you doing to "close file"?
4. M-x helm-buffers-list

Now, you will get a "my-sample.el" in the buffers list, which it is already killed.

Any idea about this bug?
Not for now, can't reproduce, need more infos.

Though the generation of buffers-list changed yesterday using some ido
code internally.

After a quick look, I wonder:
What's your value of ido-use-virtual-buffers ?

from helm.

Oh, sorry, I mean "close that buffer".

The reason that I think this issue connect with recentf is, even if restart my emacs, that dummy item still shows in helm-buffers-list. And, if you do "M-x helm-mini", you can see "my-sample.el" both in Buffers and recentf section.

I also check "(buffer-list)" from IELM shell, the recently killed buffer "my-sample.el" did not show.

Any more information?

my ido-use-virtual-buffers it t

from helm.

And this buffer is in a different face (italic), right?

I can reproduce with ido-use-virtual-buffer set to non--nil.
This is not really a bug but an ido feature that could be implemented in helm soon.

from helm.

Yes, it shows in a different face against a normal buffer. The normal one shows in red, but the buggy one shows in white(but not in italic).

Sure, it is a unfinished feature, I can wait. I will switch back to 20120501 version for now.

And thanks for your reply.

from helm.

I guess you have customized the faces, red buffers are normally reserved to buffers changed in the back of Emacs.
I have commited a fix, the killed buffers should not appear now in buffers list, even when ido-use-virtual-buffer is turned on.

from helm.

Should be fixed now, but I keep this open to remind allowing the use of ido-use-virtual-buffer in helm.

from helm.

I made a new source that handle ido virtual buffers when ido-use-virtual-buffer is enabled.
You will see your special ido virtual buffers when using M-x helm-buffers-list.
Only one action for the moment, will fix this later.
I am closing this issue.
Thanks.

Oops, I press the wrong button. I just wrote a comment to ask if I should close this issue now. It works fine here now.

Should I close this issue? Or, should I reopen this issue to remind users?

from helm.

Thanks to close it, I forgot to press button :-)
