Can you send a test case for this? There is a test case in this message: http://www.nabble.com/anomalies-of-overlays-and-before-string-and-display-properties-p12777475.html The message at that URL has a single test case that demonstrates several bugs. Bugs #3 and #4 in that message are the same as the bug I am mentioning in the quoted message above. I haven't had time to prepare a test case that isolates this bug all on its own. By the way, I think bug #2 in the message at the above URL has been fixed (or partially fixed), but all the other bugs I think have been left untouched. -- Joe
