> Mouse dragging over a text in the default face causes unnecessary
> updates in other windows displaying the same buffer.

> Steps to reproduce:

>   1. Invoke "Quartz Debug.app" on Mac OS X and check the "Flash screen
>      updates" button.
>   2. $ emacs -Q -D
>   3. C-x 2
>   4. Drag the mouse over the *scratch* buffer text in the first
>      window.

> Result:

>   The text not only in the first window but also the other one is
>   flashed whereas the latter doesn't need updates.  The flashed area
>   corresponds to the extended/shrunken part of the region in the first
>   window.

> The updates in the second window do not happen if the text is in
> non-default face (e.g., start with "emacs -Q" instead of "emacs -Q
> -D").

> I can't observe this phenomenon on Emacs 22.3.

I tried some older versions and found that the change below made the
difference.
