You may quibble, but changing the look this radically is breaking the code for me. > For this particular bug report, why would someone expect the overlay's > color to extend to the end of the line instead of affecting only the > text that the overlay covers? Because that's the way Emacs has worked since forever: If you put a face on a newline, then it'll extend to the end of the line. We do that because that's the way we wanted the display to look. If we didn't want that, we didn't put the face on the newline. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
