Subject: overlays with display and window property
Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 11:15:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <431180A1.6040806@gmx.at> (raw)

The Emacs Lisp manual specifies the window property of an overlay as:

`window'
      If the `window' property is non-`nil', then the overlay applies
      only on that window.

This works well with most overlay properties.  Executing

(defun foobar ()
   (interactive)
   (insert "foo")
   (let ((overlay (make-overlay (- (point) 3) (point))))
     (overlay-put overlay 'window (selected-window))
     (overlay-put overlay 'display "bar")
     (split-window)))

however, displays "bar" in both windows.  According to the manual "bar"
should replace "foo" in the initially selected window only.
