Subject: bug#6922: 23.1; Setting read-only property in an overlay has no effect
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:46:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282834016.22363.1391876553@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
If I create an overlay in a buffer and set the 'read-only' property to
t, it seems to make no difference, and I can still make changes to the
text in the region where the overlay is active. Setting other overlay
properties does have an effect. Setting the read-only property as a text
property however works as expected.
To demonstrate:
1. Type some text in an empty buffer.
2. (setq overlay (make-overlay 1 10)) ; Creates an overlay in this
buffer between positions 1-10 named 'overlay'
3. (overlay-put overlay 'read-only t) ; Applies the read-only property
to this overlay.
4. Type some characters at the beginning of the buffer. Emacs doesn't
complain that the text is read-only, and text is edited as normal.
I do this instead:
(put-text-property 1 10 'read-only t) ; Apply the read-only property
as a text property rather than an overlay
Now if I try typing text in the same region as before, Emacs prevents me
from doing so and says 'Text is read-only'.
