bug#65183: 29.1; Child frame moving and resizing problems

[陈宇迪]

Start Emacs with `emacs -Q' and evaluate the following code:

;;;;; CODE BEGIN ;;;;;

(defun test-child-frame ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((f (make-frame `((parent-frame . ,(selected-frame))
                         (internal-border-width . 3)
                         (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
                         (menu-bar-lines . 0)
                         (tool-bar-lines . t)
                         (left . 20)
                         (top . 20)
                         (width . 50)
                         (height . 20))))
        (b (generate-new-buffer "*child-frame-test*")))
    ;; Setup the frame and the buffer.
    (with-selected-frame f
      (switch-to-buffer b)
      (with-current-buffer b
        (set-background-color "black")
        (setq mode-line-format nil)))
    (sit-for 0.3)
    ;; inhibit redisplay
    (let ((inhibit-redisplay t))
      ;; resize
      (set-frame-size f 50 10)
      ;; move
      (set-frame-position f 20 60))
    (sit-for 0.3)
    ;; clean up
    (delete-frame f)
    (kill-buffer b)))

(test-child-frame) ;; Call the function defined above.

;;;;; CODE END ;;;;;

I recorded what I saw and sent it as the attachment "bug_slow_motion.mp4".

Briefly, the child frame appeared, then moved downwards, and then resized.

The moving and resizing are very quick so I slowed down the video (about 10x slower).

There are two problems:

1. I wrap the set size and set position code in a `(let ((inhibit-redisplay t)) ...)'. 

The docstring of `inhibit-redisplay' says "Non-nil means don’t actually do any redisplay.",

but the process of setting size and setting position is displayed.

2. In the code I gave, `set-frame-size' should be executed before `set-frame-position'.

But in fact, the child frame was first moved, and then resized. It is in the wrong order.
