bug#20265: 24.5; Corrupted mode-line with :box attribute set

[Nick Helm]

;; Start emacs in a new GUI frame with
;; /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

;; In *scratch* use C-x C-e to set the mode-line face :box
;; attribute to something ridiculous but easy to see.

(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box '(:line-width 15))

;; Notice the obscured coding system flag in the mode-line. Mouse
;; over the mode-line and observe the mode-line status flags become
;; visually corrupted.

;; Further, turn off the mode-line's 3D effects by setting :box 
;; atttributes.

(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :box nil)

(set-face-attribute 'mode-line-highlight nil :box nil)

;; Mouse over the mode-line and observe the unexpected
;; mode-line-highlight face.

;; Note that this is reproducible in 24.4.

bug#20265: 24.5; Corrupted mode-line with :box attribute set

[Ivan Andrus]

I confirm this is still a problem and that (force-mode-line-update) does
not solve the problem as I expected.  Only mousing over the modeline
seems to cause it to be updated.

I have only tested with the NextStep build from the Emacs 25 branch.

Seems to be NS-specific: I cannot reproduce this on MS-Windows.

I believe this was fixed in Emacs 26 against bug#23755.
