Hi Juri, Pedro,

Not sure why this thread was moved off-list.  I'll add it back.

At least it seems to confuse me ;-) I would expect the tab to change at the same time as the mode-line in order to have consistent information on the screen. I don’t like to be told different things by the tab line and the mode line ;-)

The patch I submitted doesn't have any effect on how or when the
tab-line is updated.  I've also noticed the effect you describe, that
the tab-line doesn't update until I change to another buffer, but ISTM
that that's an orthogonal issue.  The tab-bar does update with
redisplay, while the tab-line seems to only update on buffer-switch,
or something like that.  If the tab-line should update with redisplay,
I guess that could be done.  I guess it might be relevant to redisplay
performance, but Juri should know about that; maybe that's why it
doesn't already do that.
