Putting a min-width property on each of them will achieve that goal, right? > I.e., when "-" changes to "%", the other chars later in > "U:--" will move, but the things later in the mode line won't. If each of these, "U", ":", "-", and "-", has min-width defined for it, none of them will move, and things later on the mode line won't move, either. > > So if I'm too stupid to understand and think through your intentions, > > then I'm afraid you'll have to do this yourself.

Or maybe what I say above settles the disagreement?
