Ok, that makes sense.  I read all the comments in the test file again. 
There were a couple that I think could use tweaking; see attached file. 
The ones with "???" didn't make sense to me:  The first one is before a 
command that doesn't seem to change anything, the second one I didn't 
understand the meaning.  Please take a look.

(The patch is actually based on your 20220318c patch, but I'm adding it 
here since we have the discussion here.)
