I'm aware of this bug and see it frequently when debugging child frame
issues. Unfortunately, I don't know what's causing it because I have no
idea how face remapping is supposed to work internally. What happens is
that when x_clear_under_internal_border runs this part
int face_id =
!NILP (Vface_remapping_alist)
? lookup_basic_face (NULL, f, INTERNAL_BORDER_FACE_ID)
: INTERNAL_BORDER_FACE_ID;
struct face *face = FACE_FROM_ID_OR_NULL (f, face_id);
block_input ();
if (face)
{
unsigned long color = face->background;
the value of color for a new normal frame is for a few calls white but
switches to red before the frame appears on the display. A child frame
usually must be explicitly focused before its border becomes red (I
don't necessarily need the mouse for that purpose, C-x 5 o works too).
Maybe our experts in face remapping have an idea.
