When executing describe-text-properties on some character a *Help* buffer is created or updated with some text content, for example: Text content at position 234: There is an overlay here: From 234 to 246 font-lock-face comint-highlight-prompt There are text properties here: field output fontified t front-sticky (field inhibit-line-move-field-capture) inhibit-line-move-field-capture t rear-nonsticky t Similarly C-u C-x = produces a *Help* buffer without [back] and/or [forward] buttons. No matter how often I repeat these two commands, no button is created. But when I run describe-variable or describe- function and a [back] button is created by them in *Help* buffer, then describe-text-properties (or C-u C-x =) kind of inherit this feature and create *Help* buffers with a [back] button. Shouldn't all functions which overwrite the previous contents of *Help* buffer also insert that [back] button?
