Hmm, right, it doesn't.

But I do not only see the issue in the aggressive-indent-mode, but also
an issue in Emacs...you don't?

For `aggressive-indent-mode' - I think they should use an idle timer:
Add something to `post-command-hook' that activates the timer, or resets
the idle time when the timer is already there.  When the timer fires,
you don't need `sit-for' - and the problem only occurs when
`while-no-input' and `sit-for' are combined.  The timer just calls the
aggressive indent function wrapped in `while-no-input'.


Michael.
