Would it be more sensible to do something different than showing the partially redisplayed window with a non-blinking cursor? Even if Emacs successfully aborted redisplay and everything is good, people might think Emacs is still frozen because it looks frozen. That's what happened to me: I thought the feature wouldn't work with my config for some reason, until I tried to select a different window and then - ah! - that actually works! But it took some time... Yes, I saw the warning window pop up, but it still just looked frozen anyway. Michael.
