Yep. Can't hide it ;-)  Do not want either...

Thanks for the link.

I've applied your patch. That hinders, indeed, the bug to occur. So, it
perfectly shows you're right about the cause.

Though, the patch you gave me causes me troubles in my Gnus buffers: the
*Group* and *Summary* buffers are now black and white only. All my colors
disappeared...

Here the results of `C-u C-x =' on a (randomly taken) character (`x') of my
*Group* buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        character: X (88, #o130, #x58)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
       code point: 0x58
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
      buffer code: #x58
        file code: #x58 (encoded by coding system utf-8)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-microsoft-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 
(#x1B)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X
  general-category: Lu (Letter, Uppercase)

There are text properties here:
  fontified            t
  mouse-face           highlight
  point-entered        gnus-tool-bar-update
  point-left           gnus-tool-bar-update

[back]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The normally applied faces (mostly, `gnus-group-news-3-face' and
`gnus-group-news-3-empty-face') aren't there any more...

Do you confirm such problems? Or is it related to something else in my config?

Best regards,
  Seb
