Thanks everyone for the suggestions, experiences, etc.
Definitely not mismatched lock / unlock, since all the other parts of
the screen are fully updated.
I couldn't (naturally) recreate anything in a smaller sample, nor even
reliably be sure to make it happen on demand. I finished up using a
pattern rather like
show grp "abc"
set the vis of grp "abc" to true
wait 0 millisecs with messages
every time I want to show or hide things (and had seen a problem).
No visible problems now - and no real idea how to try to track it down
any further. I'll build an artificial deeply nested group structure in a
stack, and randomly change the hide/show status of different groups
within it, and test for visibility mismatches - and leave that running
as a test. If that shows anything, I'll submit a bug report (and update
this list for info - but I won't hold my breath :-)
Thanks again

This feels so unlikely that I wonder if I'm simply doing something wrong
- but thought I'd ask first.
I had a script which is supposed to (amongst other things) hide one
particular group. Although it usually worked OK, in some cases,
sometimes, the group would remain visible when it is not supposed to.
Trying to find this in the IDE/debugger wasn't getting anywhere, so I
reverted to using "put"s (but still in the IDE). I finished up after a
few iterations with some code that said
......
hide grp "abcde"
put "here now" && the vis of grp "abcde" &CR after msg
....
and it output
here now true
