Two tty's & emacsclients or more are used:
(In X org, I open 2 workspaces. Each has an xterm.)
tty1> emacsclient -t /home/rds (showing dired)
visit .bashrc (it has lots of strings from aliases)
switch to tty2
tty2> mc (run Midnight Commander)
edit .Xesources ($EDITOR=emacsclient -t)
It looks fine.
switch to tty1.
.bashrc looks OK.
switch to tty2
edit more files in my tree randomly with emacsclient.
switch to tty1. All OK? yes. back to tty2.
keep repeating this cycle. Eventually, tty1 will lose its string display.

So two frames from two separate emacsclients are always involved?  And
you need to switch from one client to another and back?
