> Inasmuch as the function `set_window_hscroll` is being called each time we type a letter, the proposed fix to #29002 causes a thorough redisplay after every keystroke while using isearch.  This is probably not limited to isearch -- it was just the first occasion where the side affect was immediately noticeable.

OK, I made thorough redisplay happen in fewer situations.
