Subject: tab-bar-tests-quit-restore-window sometimes fails in *compilation*
 buffer
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2025 15:48:44 -0700

This is a timing related bug. To try to reproduce it on Ubuntu 25.04 
x86-64, I start up Emacs, then build Emacs from master (commit 
291cd2d3419c7be20200db3f0ee5936661ab79f2), then cd to the test 
subdirectory, then run:

M-x compile RET make check LOGFILES=lisp/tab-bar-tests.log RET

Sometimes it works, although it outputs a stray 
"^[[H^[[J^[[H^[[J^[[H^[[J^[[H^[[J" string (sans trailing newline) to 
stdout, where "^[" stands for ESC. This string is a minor bug in the 
test: it shouldn't output junk to stdout.

Sometimes it fails, resulting in the following *compilation* buffer, 
where "^[" again represents an ESC character.

The test always seems to work if I run it in a *shell* window, so 
apparently it has something with whether Emacs has a controlling tty, or 
something like that.
