That makes sense. OTOH overlays that have the same priority are ordered by size, so that a small overlay such as the vcursor one takes precedence over most other overlays of the same priority. Which makes me wonder: why other overlay have you bumped into which has either higher priority than nil, or nil priority but is not larger than vcursor. Stefan
