; (adob-test-on) to enable
; (adob-test-off) to disable

1. Open two windows with two long buffers.
2. M-x adob-test-on RET
3. Scroll current window with M-v.
4. Switch to the other window with C-x o.
4. Scroll other window with C-M-v.

Expected: at all times, the fringes of the selected window are red while
fringes of the other window are grey.

Observed: Fringes are updated only when window is scrolled and new lines
are shown.
