The new default looks weird to me, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. What also looks weird and infelicitous to me is that a nonextending background color face on multiple lines shows up on the empty space at the beginning of a line, i.e., it appears to extend into this space, see attached screenshot. I think this only happens with white space characters, not with lines indented e.g. with wrap-prefix. It would be nice to treat all "empty" space the same in this respect. Steve Berman
