Hi Alan and friends,
In commit dfa3e6f424b20fe27d9041b2ce7d69811df5d8cd, Alan added the
following code to do_switch_frame:
diff --git a/src/frame.c b/src/frame.c

/* We want to make sure that the next event generates a frame-switch
the problem with this is that it calls `Qget_mru_window` which is ELisp
code, and that we're in the very middle of changing the selected frame,
so we have already changed the `selected-frame` variable a few lines
earlier, but the select-window has not yet been adjusted accordingly.
Running ELisp code in a state where (selected-window) and
(frame-selected-window) aren't equal is a recipe for problems. I have
already wasted many hours in the past tracking down bugs linked to this
kind of situation (back when the mode-line was processed in such an
inconsistent state, for example), and I really don't want to go there.
So we should arrange to run this `get-mru-window` function at some other
time, for example a few lines earlier before we set `selected-frame`.
I don't understand this code nearly enough to know how to move the code,
because it probably interacts with the other statements in non-trivial
ways, so the patch below is just a naive suggestion (it seems to work
here without triggering my many sprinkled assertions checking that
`EQ (XFRAME (selected_frame)->selected_window, selected_window)`,
but it's a far cry from a confirmation that it's right).
Hopefully someone here is aware of some of the potential pitfalls.
