 and toggling off, then does not remove header
Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2023 20:41:05 +0000

Execute: emacs -Q

Configure Which Function Mode to display in header by evaluating 
the following; note that this is a new feature in Emacs 30: 
(customize-set-variable 'which-func-display 'header)

Toggle Which Function Mode on by typing: M-x which-function-mode 
RET

Toggle Which Function Mode off by typing again: M-x 
which-function-mode RET

You can see a dysfunctional header. (It won't be update because 
Which Function Mode is off.) To be precise, the value of variable 
`header-line-format' is '(("" which-func-format " ")). Apparently, 
this variable has not been cleaned up appropriately. This is the 
job of the function `which-func--disable'. [1]

In order to test the `which-func--disable' function, type: M-: (which-func--disable) RET

The header disappeared. The value of variable `header-line-format' is `nil'. This means, that the function does its job well. Apparently, it's not being called when toggling off. [2]
