Subject: two display bugs involving interactions between after-string and
	display properties of adjacent overlays

Here are two more display bugs I found while trying to improve the
code in tex-fold.el in AUCTeX.

These bugs involve interactions between after-string and display
properties of adjacent overlays.

I'm assuming this macro in my reproduction code below:

  (defmacro test-in-fresh-buffer-and-window (&rest body)
    `(progn
       (delete-other-windows)
       (kill-buffer (get-buffer-create "xyzzy"))
       (let ((xyzzy-buf (get-buffer-create "xyzzy")))
         (set-buffer xyzzy-buf)
         (display-buffer xyzzy-buf)
         ,@body
         )))

BUG #1:  An overlay's after-string property that would appear at the
end of the buffer is not displayed, if the same overlay also has a
display property and an immediately preceding overlay also has an
after-string property.  (Putting extra characters at the end of the
buffer works around this bug.)

Reproduce with this expression:

  (test-in-fresh-buffer-and-window
   (insert "AB")
   (let ((o1 (make-overlay 1 2))
         (o2 (make-overlay 2 3)))
     (overlay-put o1 'after-string "1")
     (overlay-put o2 'after-string "2")
     (overlay-put o2 'display "b")
     ))

The above expression should display ?A1b2?.
The above expression wrongly actually displays ?A1b?.

BUG #2:  An overlay's display property and after-string property are
not displayed if an immediately following overlay shares the same Lisp
string as its display property.  (Using two distinct display strings
with identical contents works around the bug.)

Reproduce with this expression:

  (test-in-fresh-buffer-and-window
   (insert "ABCD")
   (let ((o1 (make-overlay 2 3))
         (o2 (make-overlay 3 4))
         (s #1=" "))
     (overlay-put o1 'after-string "1")
     (overlay-put o1 'display #1#)
     (overlay-put o2 'display #1#)))

The above expression should display ?A 1 D?.
The above expression wrongly actually displays ?A D?.

I hope these bug reports are helpful.
