Description
Steps to reproduce:
- In an empty buffer, evaluate
(make-string 100000 #\A) - Cmd+T to create a new buffer in a new tab and switch to it.
- Attempt to switch back to the previous buffer.
Instead of being able to switch back to the previous buffer right away, DrRacket blocks until printing is completely done first.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with (make-string 100000 #\A) in an empty buffer, then create and switch to a new tab while the output is printing. Trace the tab-switching and printing entry points to determine why switching waits for printing. Done means the previous buffer can be selected promptly while printing continues.
