Buffer tabs flashing and Gnus

There is still heavy flashing in the buffer tabs for me during Gnus usage.. Well I wrote a small debug tool to see where the tabs are being called.[1] Here is the result (edited) #<buffer "*Article*"> backtrace(#<buffer "*debug-tab*"> t) [..] update-tab-in-gutter(#<buffer "*Article*">) select-window(#<window on "*Article*" 0x48aca>) # bind (window point) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (save-selected-window-window) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (ihandles) gnus-display-mime() # bind (gnus-article-buffer buffer-read-only) gnus-article-prepare-display() [..] gnus-article-prepare(53659 nil) [..] call-interactively(gnus-summary-next-page) So the problem is still the same. update-tab-in-gutter is run in a save-selected-window-window form. Same reasoning as before applies 1. In this case running the buffer tab updater is unnecessary as we are in save-selected-window-window. As an ugly hack one could disable the hook there but that shouldn't be necessary: 2. It really shouldn't matter that the buffer tabs are changed inside this form because at redisplay time everything should be back in the old state. [I thought this was what all the recent work was about] Jan Footnotes: [1] (require 'advice) (defvar debug-tab-triggered t) (defvar dt-buffer (get-buffer-create "*debug-tab*")) (defun debug-tab-go () (interactive) (setq debug-tab-triggered nil)) (global-set-key [f8] 'debug-tab-go) (defadvice update-tab-in-gutter (before debugtab) (unless debug-tab-triggered (setq debug-tab-triggered t) (erase-buffer dt-buffer) (print (ad-get-arg 0) dt-buffer) (backtrace dt-buffer t)))
