* bug#22986: 24.5; (elisp) `Overlay Properties' has incorrect link `Text help-echo'

Under the `help-echo' entry there is this cross-reference: "For details
see Text help-echo".  That link takes you to the `prepare-change-group'
entry of node `Atomic Changes', which does not seem to have anything to
do with `help-echo' or displaying a help string in the echo area.



In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
 of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
 `configure --prefix=/c/usr --host=i686-pc-mingw32'

I'm unable to reproduce this bug.  And the anchor looks like it's in the
right place when I look at the source code:

@item help-echo
@kindex help-echo @r{(text property)}
@cindex tooltip for help strings
@anchor{Text help-echo}
If text has a string as its @code{help-echo} property, then when you
move the mouse onto that text, Emacs displays that string in the echo
area, or in the tooltip window (@pxref{Tooltips}).


Perhaps something wrong with whatever formatted your info pages?

Neither can I.  I suspect that Drew has an Info file with DOS EOLs,
which would cause the cross-references to anchors place you at the
wrong location.

Closing.

No. This was reported for Emacs 24.5 (release), and there the problem
is exactly as reported.  See attached screenshot.

That erroneous xref has since been removed, so the problem no longer exists.

Correct.
