24.0.93; redisplay glitch with before-string and display overlays |
Date: |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.0.93 (gnu/linux) |
1. emacs -Q
2. Type `C-x b a RET' to get a fresh buffer in Fundamental mode, and at
(point-min) type "012".
3. Type `M-<' so that the cursor is over (i.e. just before) `0'.
4. Type `M-: (overlay-put (make-overlay (point) (point)) 'before-string
"*")'. Now you see this:
*012
5. Type `M-: (overlay-put (make-overlay (point) (1+ (point))) 'display
"")'. Now you see this:
*12
6. Type `M-: (remove-overlays)' to restore "012".
7. Type SPC to advance the cursor and the start of "012" to column one.
8. Repeat step 4. Now you see this:
*012
9. Repeat step 5. Now you see this:
*112
According to my tests, this redisplay glitch happens when the overlays
begin anywhere other than (point-min). It also only happens when the
before-string overlay is added prior to the display string overlay, and
only when the value of the display string is "". I don't know when this
problem appeared, but it does not happen in Emacs 23.3.

Thanks for testing. I committed the fix (revision 107465 on the
trunk) and closed the bug.
