I have one more data point. Apparently I do not need to "click" on the emacs frame to make the line numbers reappear. They reappeared seemingly randomly or just as I was just hovering the mouse over the emacs frame.. odd. This happened just as I was preparing to record "line num reappearance on click" effect, but the line numbers reappeared by themselves even before I clicked. -- Kaushal Modi
