The text "*note " has the `display' text property with the string "see " which is displayed instead of the original text. The function `isearch-range-invisible' (which is used by Info search) doesn't pay attention to the `display' property. It processes only the `invisible' property. It works the same in all Emacs buffers with the `display' property (in `image-mode', `w3m' mode, etc.) where it finds the text not visible on the screen. How to handle this situation is not clear. Should isearch find the displayed text as a contiguous part of the search space? The simplest solution is to treat the `display' property like `invisible' property and to skip the text displayed over the original text. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
