> This can be worked around to some extent by copying the mouse-face

> (let ((buff (generate-new-buffer "overlay test"))
>       o)
>   (with-current-buffer buff
>     (insert "text")
>     (setq o (make-overlay (point-min) (point-max)))
>     (overlay-put o 'mouse-face '(:background "green"))
>     (overlay-put o 'display "display")
>     (overlay-put o 'before-string "before string")
>     (overlay-put o 'after-string "after string")
>     (pop-to-buffer buff)))
>
> "displayafter string" has mouse-face, but "before string" does not.
