Subject: 24.3.50; Redisplay broken with split windows
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:00:43 +0100

A recent change -- my guess is this one (I don't have time now to bisect
to confirm this suspicion):

115272: Stefan Monnier 2013-11-28 Refine redisplay optimizations to only
redisplay *some* frames/windows

-- has broken redisplay with split windows.  To reproduce:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x display-time-mode
3. C-x 2 (or C- x 3)
4. C-x b, so one window displays *scratch* and the other *Messages*.
5. When the displayed time changes, only the current buffer is updated;
   in the other buffer the time display is unchanged, and the scroll bar
   disappears (note my build does not use toolkit scroll bars, I don't
   know if that makes a differences.)  This states of affairs remains
   until the non-updated buffer becomes current.

Sounds highly likely, indeed.

- The mode-line not being redrawn in the other window is expected.
  The patch below should fix it.
- But for some reason I couldn't reproduce it (looks like something
  somewhere in my tests is causing the extra redisplay needed).
  Ah, I could reproduce it by building --without-toolkit-scroll-bars, so
  it looks like the presence of toolkit scrollbars somehow plays an
  important role.
- The scroll-bar disappearance is not expected.  If the patch below
  makes this problem disappear, it's only because it hides it, not
  because it fixes it.

OK, I figured out why the scrollbar disappeared.  Should all be fixed
now, thank you,

Whoops, spoke too soon -- I only looked at the scroll bar.  The time in
the mode line of the non-selected windows is still not being updated.

It's fixed now, due to r115299 I presume; thanks.

Indeed that should have fixed it, thank you,
