Subject: bug#4911: mouse-face property should merge face attributes, not replace
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:41:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFC026C.4060701@googlemail.com> (raw)
Dear Emacs developers,
Perhaps this has been noted already: the low-level behaviour of the
mouse-face property seems ugly: it simply overwrites the face property
for characters under the mouse. For example in Info, blue underlined
links turn black without the underline when the mouse is hovered over
them to give the green background from the highlight face. This feels
unnatural.
In Proof General (http://proofgeneral.inf.ed.ac.uk) we use the
mouse-face property on programming language text which is heavily
decorated with font-lock. Users complain that when the mouse is over a
region the normal fontification is obliterated.
- David Aspinall.
PS incidentally, we used to prefer XEmacs for Proof General, its display
engine did the right thing here.
