Might be this really weird code was from me. As far as I remember, I had
some problems with opening frames in the wrong window a few times, and
put in some (dirty) fix for that.

That's what it should do. One should at least compare names of the
"root" htmlview with the root view of the "current frame" if you have two
frames with the same name. That's rather easy to do, and would
probably solve 99% of these problems.
