Fortunatelly, I found the solution such that I did not touch that code. But trying to read it, it was impossible for me to make a general coherence of the code. Only in parts I could understand it. Yes, in genral the redisplay is superior with its overlays, but many overlays like in linum-mode make it works bad. I did not invest much effort in trying to read it, because I am afraid that apart a few persons who were motivated to write some code in that part, nobody knows it. I wanted to say that it should be adopted a system that everybody can understand, in order for everybody interested to be able to gain a coherence in thought about that part of emacs. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/redisplay-system-of-emacs-tp27349166p27356155.html Sent from the Emacs - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
