I tried your functions on GNU/Linux now.  The GTK build seems to handle

​Thanks for testing this.  It would be helpful with such reports if

you include your thoughts about where you think the misbehaving

code lives (display-until, the code shipped in Emacs itself, the

windowing system), so we have an idea of what to look at to hopefully

eliminate the problem.

Please also test with display-until-delay set to 3 seconds or so just

to see if a timing difference eliminates your problem.

display-until is small enough that you could strip down its functions

pretty quickly to just the part that generates the issue you are seeing

and even see if any small code change eliminates it.

Just FYI, I see none of the problems you and Eli have reported when

using the MacOS window manager.
