I'll try and take a look at this when I get time. But I lose my laptop in a
week so don't hold your breath. I take it this is new with b42?
Thanks

I just recently upgraded to b42 (not sure what I was running before,
but
it was 36+), and I've noticed a problem with the buffer tabs flickering
when I move the mouse around in the XEmacs frame (or sometimes apparently
just for the heck of it).
I toggled display of the tabs, which disabled the flickering for that
frame, but started it in one on another workspace. Now after having
disabled/enabled the tabs several times, XEmacs is in a state where the
tabs will only show up in one frame at a time. Behavior goes kind of like this:
F1 == Frame1
F2 == Frame2
Action F1 (ws 1) F2 (ws 2)
No tabs Tabs
switch-buffer (F1) Tabs Tabs
switch-to-ws-2 ?? No tabs
switch-to-ws-1 Tabs ??
switch-to-ws-2 ?? No tabs
resize-window (F2) ?? No tabs
move-modeline (F2) ?? No tabs
info (F2) ?? Tabs
kill-this-buffer (F2) ?? Tabs
switch-to-ws-1 Tabs ??
switch-to-ws-2 ?? No tabs
switch-to-ws-1 Tabs ??
switch-to-ws-2 ?? No tabs
switch-buffer (F2) ?? Tabs
switch-to-ws-1 No tabs ??
switch-to-ws-2 ?? Tabs
switch-to-ws-1 No tabs ??
switch-to-ws-2 ?? Tabs
My apologies for the verbosity, but it was the best way I could figure to
explain it. It seems like only one frame wants to have tabs at a time, and
I can get the one that does to switch by doing a switch-buffer (or
split-window). I can also get the one that doesn't to temporarily show
them anyway by executing some other commands.
Through all this, I'm sometimes getting the flickering behavior, and
sometimes not.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Is there something I could do to
try to help track down the problem?
