When switching between windows in Gnome using Alt-Tab there is
often a bright flash just after switching to an Emacs frame.
It seems as if the Emacs frame is displayed and then a window of
some other application appears for a fraction of a second before
the display settles down to the showing the Emacs frame.
Because the flash is so quick, I Initially thought the Emacs frame
was being displayed in white before being painted to it's correct
display, but this is not the case. By choosing distinctive colours
or distinctive images in my other applications, I can tell that it
is the window of another application that is flashing up.
[This flashing might be particularly noticeable on this system as
I use a dark theme in Emacs (Wheatgrass) and most other
application windows are predominantly white. Also I keep all my
Emacs frames and all my other application windows maximised or
full screen (because I have a small display).]
This flashing does not happen in Emacs 24 or 25. It happens in
Emacs 26 and I think I also saw it when I built master back in
March [1].
However, it does not happen in Emacs 26 if I put
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(inhibit-double-buffering . t))
in my init file and restart Emacs.

If this happened for a build of master in between commits
c0af83b6ccf2dab9a515dd7f52eb9d4500275ae3
and
2fa19cc5510cdbf00c54991a9959be984dd99fbe
it would imply that inhibiting double buffering is also needed even if
it did not cause problems like those from bug#28589. But apparently you
built from the release branch. So I'm slightly confused.

Hi Martin,
Sorry, I don't know if I can help with your confusion.
Yes, I built from the release branch (emacs-26) on 2017-09-24 at
commit d93301242f38d3d9aaa55899c07496f0bdecf391.
The commits you mention were made 2017-08-27 and 2017-09-26
respectively, but neither of them seem to be in the emacs-26
branch.
I am not familiar with bug#28589.
N.

Then this was pure coincidence and you're facing a more general issue
with double buffering.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I'm also using Gnome (I'm on Debian bullseye), but I can't see these
flashes (I've tried in Emacs 26.1 and Emacs 28) when Alt-Tab-ing between
something that has a bright background and Emacs (which has a black
background).
Are you still seeing this in recent Emacs/Gnome versions?

No, I haven't seen this problem -- at all -- in quite a few Emacs
versions.
(Sorry I didn't update the bug report with that information -- I had
completely forgotten about the bug.)
[The only time I see any "flashing" of any sort in Emacs now is
while it starts up and restores my desktop frames and windows. My
understanding is that this is expected. (It is also much less
frenetic that it was in the past.)]
Thank you and best regards,
Neil.

No problem. :-) I'm closing this bug report, then.
