Yes, I tried the emacs-26 branch as well.  What I reported was from
that branch's build.

Did you try C-g 2 or 3 times?  If so, did it help?

> I can understand that the real-world use case might not make sense to your own use of Emacs, but in the use I described, it means Emacs freezes by just changing the font size... not good.

I agree the result is not good even if Emacs behaves like it does on
my system, which is not a total freeze.  I'll try to see if I can find
some reasonable way out of this situation.
