This may be a dumb question, but, you're not in 8-bit color, are you?

You'll agree that the tab redraw starts by blanking the gutter and then the tabs are realized. The bug is that in certain situations, the blanking happens, but the realization does not. I was playing around attempting to come up with a reproduction recipe and here's what I came up with: - start xemacs - M-x shell - M-x rename-buffer foo - M-x shell - M-x rename-buffer bar - C-x 3 - C-x 5 2 - move mouse into new frame and watch the tabs disappear... - C-l in the new frame and you might get the tabs back, move the mouse around and they might disappear again

No amount of C-l will make the tabs disappear for me. The way to debug this if you have time is to put a printf statement in each of x_map_subwindow and x_unmap_subwindow with the id. You should always get an x_map_subwindow last if the tabs are to be visible. If you can break on the x_unmap_subwindow that causes them to go away for good and send me a backtrace that might help. Although this gets tricky with multiple frames. I'm guessing it has something to do with expose events. Maybe even the ignore expose is being over-zealous.... Or maybe Damon could send me his .emacs and I can try and reproduce it on ms-windows. andy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd
