Reproduction steps: - emacs -Q - Evaluate this expression: (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(internal-border-width . 10)) - Create a new frame (C-x 5 2) - Create a new tab (C-x t 2) - Wait a second or start typing Results: The tab bar gets cut in half by the area where text is. Switching tabs flashes the tab bar the way it's supposed to look like for a split second.
