I understand that some non-default settings are needed, but just
loading the package doesn't reproduce the problem on my system.  So we
would like a precise recipe, something like

 emacs -Q
 load package X
 do something
 do something else
 observe the problem in the mode line

Can you come up with something like that?  It is important to reduce
the number of extra packages and "do something"s to the absolute
minimum, so that the problem could be more easily identified.

Thanks.
