Subject: Inspecting behaviour of `make-overlay', is this expected?
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2022 10:52:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e7acbf03e75a0be2d0eb2989a5fce313.support1@rcdrun.com> (raw)

XXXXXXXXXX
^
| position 0 in buffer

(setq my-overlay (make-overlay 0 10))
(get-buffer-window (overlay-buffer my-overlay))
(overlay-put my-overlay 'display "Hello") then I get:

HelloX 

instead of "Hello"

Is this normal behavior?
