Subject: Reading text properties from a yanked text
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2022 22:35:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1zgcdxuap.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)
Hello,
I'm trying to read the properties of a yanked string and I do not
understand why I get a nil result:
1. I evaluate the line below to get a bold "Hello" and I copy the
result in the kill ring.
(insert (propertize "Hello" 'face 'bold))
2. If I try to get the properties of the yanked text, I get
nil. However, the text is displayed bold and a (text-properties-at
(point)) returns '(face bold) when point is on the H letter.
(text-properties-at 0 "Hello")
3. This version works as expected (but this is not what I need):
(text-properties-at 0 (propertize "Hello" 'face 'bold))
Why do I get a nil result in case 2 (using Emacs 28.2) even though
the text is displayed bold?
Nicolas
