When I split windows in a frame, I can notice that many operations
suddenly require a full redisplay of windows contents. For example,
try splitting buffers with C-x 2 and pressing `M-: t RET'. For me,
this redraws both buffers.
This may not always be easy to spot, but if you look carefully, you
should see what I mean. This is repeatable with `-q' and without X
resources. However, I am totally unable to repeat this in 20.3.
Perhaps this is connected with Kirill's frame/windows changes? The
reason why I came to investigate this was that an annoying property of
vertical dividers -- try splitting windows with C-x 3, and simply
click on a divider (don't drag it). For me, both windows flash for a
moment. This is annoying and looks plain ugly; I can stand redisplay
slowness when I actually *do* something, but having the redisplay out
of nothing...
Clearly, this is not a high-priority bug, but it would be nice if
someone who knows his way around windows/redisplay code looked at it,
because it is a downgrade from 20.3 behaviour.
