The main use is not when the rectangle is completely empty (i.e. when mark = point) but when the rectangle has 0 width, so you see where the mark is and you see on each line the 0-width boundary of the rectangle. So changing the cursor doesn't quite give me what I want. > Another possibility is to make a composition of the character at point > and some zero-width character (which we display as a thin space). Hmm... that's a possibility. Sounds costly (compared to "draw a line"), but maybe it could work. Stefan
