Subject: 28.0.50; 'display-time-mode' and 'which-function-mode' not
 interacting well with 'tab-bar-format-global'
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2021 20:20:26 -0400

Hello, I'm trying use 'which-function-mode' and also have time appear on
the right end of the tab-bar but not in the modeline per documentation for
the 'tab-bar-format' variable:

    When you add more items ‘tab-bar-format-align-right’ and
    ‘tab-bar-format-global’ to the end, then after enabling
    ‘display-time-mode’ (or any other mode that uses ‘global-mode-string’)
    it will display time aligned to the right on the tab bar instead of
    the mode line.

It seems this only works without 'which-function-mode'.  If I enable
'which-function-mode' after tab-bar-mode, time unexpectedly reappears in
the modeline.

Alternatively, if I enable 'which-function-mode' before 'tab-bar-mode',
then time appears only in the tab-bar, as expected.  But then the
information provided by 'which-function-mode' also stops appearing in the
modeline.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Emacs with "emacs -Q".
2. Paste into scratch buffer:

   (setq tab-bar-format
    '(tab-bar-format-tabs
     tab-bar-separator
     tab-bar-format-align-right
     Tab-bar-format-global))

   (tab-bar-mode t)

   (display-time-mode t)

   (which-function-mode t)

3. "M-x eval-buffer RET"

To reproduce the other result---wherein 'which-function-mode'
disappears from the modeline and will not return---simply repeat the
above steps with the "(which-function-mode t)" line placed above the
"(tab-bar-mode t)" line instead of beneath it.

With warm regards,
Martin Marshall

I've just noticed that somehow in copying the code into my email
below, a "t" was somehow replaced with a "T".

Please accept my apology. Below is the correction.

    (setq tab-bar-format
     '(tab-bar-format-tabs
      tab-bar-separator
      tab-bar-format-align-right
      tab-bar-format-global))

    (tab-bar-mode t)

    (display-time-mode t)

    (which-function-mode t)

Thank you very much for finding this bug.
It's fixed now, so your test cases work correctly.

Glad to hear it. And thank you so much for the quick fix!
