Re: address@hidden: Re: mode-line redisplay bug]

    On GNU/Linux:

    The highlit area flickers. On W32 it flickers once when the tooltip
    pops up, but on X, it flickers constantly. I remember fixing something
    like this on W32 years ago, it was in the code that detected mouse
    movement - movement events were being sent for zero movement when
    inside track-mouse forms. But my recollection is that the same bug did
    not appear on X at the time, so even though the code appeared to be
    the same, I did not try to apply my fix to the X code.

    If C-c c is pressed before the tooltip pops up, nothing happens until
    the tooltip-delay expires, then the tooltip flashes up for a brief
    instant and the buffer switch takes place.

    Both problems I saw on GNU/Linux appear in both the header-line and
    mode-line.

Can anyone else reproduce this?
