bug#55196: 29.0.50; Unexpected pulse.el behavior in emacs-server-mode

[g]

When starting emacs 29 with my personal configuration, I noticed, that
`(pulse-momentary-highlight-region 0 40)` stopped flashing. It just
highlights a certain region until I press another key.
By further investigations I observed that without an emacs daemon
pulse-momentary-hilight-region works as expected.

Also, when starting emacs --daemon with the -Q flag, the pulse on region
works as expected, BUT I get this in the message buffer:

[nil 25197 14516 56333 0.03 pulse-tick (("#bb8cf07bbb8c" "#c264f208c264"
"#c93cf395c93c" "#d015f522d015" "#d6edf6afd6ed" "#ddc5f83dddc5"
"#e49df9cae49d" "#eb76fb57eb76" "#f24efce4f24e" "#f926fe71f926")
(464806696416318637977225917387 . 281474976710656000000)) nil 0 nil]

So I think it's not exclusively related to my configuration. Maybe
someone can reproduce this behavior.

Thank you and kind regards 

Gregor

That's the return value from the function, so Emacs will display it if
you say M-: (pulse-momentary-highlight-region 0 40) (which I assume you
have).  I.e., the message is from M-:, not from
`pulse-momentary-highlight-region'.

If the problem is that `pulse-momentary-highlight-region' doesn't pulse
in your configuration, but does pulse with "emacs -Q", then it sounds
like the problem is with your configuration somewhere.

It sounds like your non-Q Emacs is picking up a different version of
pulse.el -- see whether `M-x list-load-path-shadows' says that you have
a shadowing version installed.

Not sure about the error below, but what is `pulse-flag' set to in an
Emacs session with your configuration?  I had a similar problem when I
`require'd pulse.el in init.el when a GUI frame was not open yet and
pulse-flag was set to nil.

[g]

Yes that’s it! Somehow pulse-flag is set to nil when running with daemon. 
Thanks!

OK; I'm closing this bug report, then.
