modify-frame-parameters seems to affect double-mouse binding

[Drew Adams]

I'd really like to understand what's happening here, and know if this
is a bug or not. If not, what can I do to work around this behavior?

1. Open a new frame.

2. In the code below, change the font string to be the default font
   for the frame you opened - that is,
   (assq 'font (frame-parameters (selected-frame))).

3. Shift double-click in the new frame. This echoes first FOO, then
   BAR, as you would expect. Since the new font given with
   modify-frame-parameters is the same as the current font, there is
   in fact no change in the frame font size.

4. Now, change the font size in foo's font string to a slightly
   different size (e.g. change it from 14 to 18), so that the font
   will actually be changed by modify-frame-parameters in foo.

5. Shift double-click in the same frame. This now echoes FOO
   twice. Command bar is never executed.

I get the same behavior in Emacs 20 and Emacs 21.3.50 (from July).

Why is bar never executed? What can I do differently so that bar will
be executed on the second click?

(defun foo ()
  (interactive)
  (message "FOO")(sit-for 1)
  (modify-frame-parameters
   (selected-frame)
   (list (cons 'font "-*-Lucida
Console-normal-r-*-*-14-*-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1"))))

(defun bar () (interactive) (message "BAR")(sit-for 1))

(define-key global-map [S-mouse-1] 'foo)
(define-key global-map [S-double-mouse-1] 'bar)

(define-key global-map [S-down-mouse-1] nil)
(define-key global-map [S-double-down-mouse-1] nil)

It doesn't fail for me in the current sources.  I see "BAR" in the
echo area even after putting in the larger font.

OK. Thanks.
