Reproduce by evaluating this expression: (let ((buf (get-buffer-create "foo"))) (with-current-buffer buf (display-buffer buf) (erase-buffer) (dolist (o (overlays-in (point-min) (point-max))) (delete-overlay o)) (insert "ABC") (let ((o (make-overlay 2 3)) (s (make-string 5 ?X))) (put-text-property 0 1 'display "1" s) (put-text-property 1 2 'display "2" s) (put-text-property 2 3 'display "3" s) (put-text-property 3 4 'display "4" s) (put-text-property 4 5 'display "5" s) (overlay-put o 'display "Y") (overlay-put o 'before-string s)))) The correct behavior would be to see the buffer ?foo? pop up displaying the characters ?A12345YC?. The horribly wrong behavior that actually happens is that redisplay of the buffer stops completely after ?A1? is shown. Strangely, the ?XXXXX? (which should not be displayed anywhere) will be displayed in the echo area. Scary errors start occurring if one tries to do work in the buffer after this. By the way, it would be really nice if this worked, because it would be an easy way to display a number of display specifications for a single overlay, which would make it much easier to get the features of AUCTeX's tex-fold.el to work together with the features of latex-preview. (What is needed is being able to display strings interleaved with images.)
