Oh, now I see what you mean. Indeed I had seen your setq-default, but did
not guess it meant setq-local. Indeed, M-: (setq-local
global-hl-line-mode nil) leaves an overlay in the buffer. I use this in
buffer setup hooks, so the overlay is not created. If you want to remove
that overlay, you also need to call global-hl-line-unhighlight:
(defun buffer-deactivate-global-hl-line-mode ()
(interactive)
(global-hl-line-unhighlight)
(setq-local global-hl-line-mode nil))
