Nothing unusual: it makes the window "selected", unsurprisingly, so after that `selected-window` will return that (invisible) window. If redisplay happens when an invisible window is selected, then none of the visible windows will use the mode-line face that corresponds to the selected window. And depending on various other thing, it may also be that none of the Emacs windows will have focus. Stefan
