[I sent this last night to the bug#23510 thread, but it never arrived,
and I resent it twice today from two different email addresses, and I
also sent a test message to the bug thread, but none of these have
arrived, although other posts have appeared in the list since my
attempts were sent. I don't know what the problem is, but now I'm
trying to open a new bug; if this succeeds, it should be merged with
bug#23510.]

Ok, I've given it a try; patch below. Debugging showed that the
flickering is caused by calling delete-overlay on pre-command-hook, so I
eliminated the uses of this hook and replaced them with the new
functions hl-line-maybe-unhighlight and global-hl-line-maybe-unhighlight
added to post-command-hook that call delete-overlay under more specific
conditions. According to my tests this does not lead to flickering and
highlights and unhighlights as before (but others should test the code,
in case I missed or messed up anything).
I also noticed that the definition of global-hl-line-mode fails to
remove global-hl-line-highlight from change-major-mode-hook when the
mode is disabled; I assume this was an oversite, so I rectified it.
If my fix is found acceptable, I assume it should go to master, since
the flickering problem was probably always there, so is not a regression
in emacs-25. With that in mind, I took the opportunity to make
global-hl-line-mode automatically taken effect in all live windows when
global-hl-line-sticky-flag is non-nil (the new function
global-hl-line-highlight-all); in the current (and I assume original)
implementation, enabling global-hl-line-mode only highlights the current
line of the selected window, even when global-hl-line-sticky-flag is
non-nil (the highlighting appears in other windows when they become
selected). This change seems consistent with the idea of Global-Hl-Line
mode, expressed in its doc string ("Toggle line highlighting in all
buffers"). I tested it with three windows in each of two frames (the
most that comfortably fit on my display), and the highlighting was as
fast as with two windows on one frame, but I suppose it's possible that
more windows on more frames might be slower.

It's impossible for whether you are trying to make a new report or reply
to an existing one to make any difference to whether your mail arrives.
*If you have debbugs problems, ask on help-debbugs.*
I will simply delete this report, since your mails to 23510 have now
arrived. (And were previously forwarded by Paul, so now we have 4
copies.)
