I have a fix for that. I had forgotten about it. I got the idea
from yssl's QFEnter.vim plugin,
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=4778. I
thought that implementation was overly complicated for what I
needed, so I just extracted and simplified part of it. When jumping
to items from the quickfix window, this opens them in the previous
window instead of the window above the quickfix window.

nnoremap <buffer> <CR> :call QfEnter()<CR>

function! QfEnter()
let l:lnum = line('.')
wincmd p
exe 'cc' l:lnum
endfunction

I put that in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/qf.vim. The map will therefor
apply only to the quickfix window.

Someone commented in another thread a while back that the quickfix
error number was not always the same as the quickfix window line
number, but that assumption has always worked for me.

Regards,
Gary
