Subject: 29.4; Modifying horizontal-scroll-bar does not fully work (MacOS 
 only)
Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2024 22:10:06 -0700

Directly modifying the variable horizontal-scroll-bar on MacOS doesn't
show a scroll bar unless the frame also has the horizontal-scroll-bars
frame  parameter set.  This only happens on MacOS, on Linux and Windows
everything behaves as I would expect.

To reproduce, define the following function:

(defun bug-report-toggle-buffer-horizontal-scroll-bar ()
  "Like `toggle-scroll-bar', but for just the current buffer.
And for horizontal scroll bars.  I guess it's acutally very
different."
  (interactive)
  (setq horizontal-scroll-bar (if horizontal-scroll-bar nil 'bottom))
  (set-window-buffer (selected-window) (current-buffer)))

Then run M-x bug-report-toggle-buffer-horizontal-scroll-bar repeatedly
and observe that on MacOS space gets reserved for the horizontal scroll
bar but no scroll bar is rendered.  Finally, run M-x
horizontal-scroll-bar-mode and observe that now the horizontal scroll
bar is properly shown and hidden.

I also tested this on master and observed the same behavior.
