Then > C-c C-c could be more precise in finding the exact location from where > "C-x 4 a" was initially called. I do not understand well why you want to do that. If C-c C-c can't find the position it's either a bug in `add-change-log-entry-other-window' or in my code. If the bug is with the latter I have to fix it. If the bug is with the former, you have to write your entry manually and creating the overlay can hardly be done automatically. Can you give me a more or less practical scenario where such overlays would be useful?
