bug#16084: 24.3.50; Modeline update problem

[martin rudalics]

With emacs -Q for today's trunk insert the following text into *scratch*
and eval the buffer.


(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "buffer-1"))

(defun foo ()
  (interactive)
  (cond
   ((equal (buffer-name) "buffer-1")
    (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "buffer-2")))
   ((equal (buffer-name) "buffer-2")
    (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "buffer-3")))
   ((equal (buffer-name) "buffer-3")
    (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "buffer-1")))))

(global-set-key [(control .)] 'foo)


Now typing C-. updates the modeline only the first time one of these
buffers is displayed.  After that, the modeline sticks to buffer-3 here.
If I now modify the current buffer, the modeline changes again but
ceases to do so the next time the buffer is displayed.

Instead of C-. I can also use menu-bar-select-buffer-function.
