> It is visually confusing to see the same buffer displayed in more than one window because the NON-selected window displays a moving fringe cursor indicator, which does not coincide with where the cursor is in that particular window.  When switching to the other window, the fringe indicator jumps to the correct location where the cursor is.

I'm not sure I understand the use case.  Could you please describe a
sequence of steps that lead to the confusing display?
