   I am not sure how to make a local CVS directory, or exactly what that
   term means. 

I don't know either...  Sorry for using an apparently unclear term.
I just meant that I ran cvs-examine in the usual way on a directory
containing the local copies of the emacs CVS sources.

   Can one of you tell me a self-contained test case to
   reproduce this bug?

I don't know how to provide more details than I did already, except
for the fact that I am running emacs on X on Solaris and GNU/Linux.
Here are the emacs-version's:

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.9, X toolkit) of 2003-06-21 on
hampton

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2003-06-21 on euler

I just tried again and could easily reproduce the bug on both systems.
If I do simple mouse movements with

<up> which runs the command previous-line
<down> which runs the command next-line

buffer *cvs* (or its display) gets NOT updated.  But it gets updated
after

C-g which runs the command keyboard-quit
C-l which runs the command recenter

Anyway, Stefan seemed to have recognized the problem, so maybe he can
explain.
