Some analysis suggests that the mouse face is generally cleared when t- 
m-m is on, whether really needed or not.  With the patch below (not  
meant as a bug fix) applied, the bug goes away.

Without the patch, try_window_reusing_current_matrix is not used in t- 
m-m with a region visible.
I guess that dpyinfo->mouse_face_window is then set to Qnil, the mouse  
face text cleared and redrawn at a later point in time outside of the  
update_begin/end bracket.

The double-redraws are inefficient, and I don't quite understand why  
they are necessary.

I suspect that this only shows up in NS because the frame is flushed  
every time we have an update_window_end().


Help, please!
