Well - I missunderstood that you are just complaining about
the behaviour between moving the diplomat into the city and
responding to the popup dialog. There your right: Freeciv
has a bug here... - The diplomat should be protected while
you are in the dialog.


But the auto-goto-style you proposed is unfair: see this
situation:

                    D...
                    .....    D - diplomat
                    ..C..    C - city
                    .....    . - visible squares
                     ...

Ciao,
Mathias
