It would be wrong for preview-latex, probably one of the most important applications extensively using the display property. It is very important that the underlying buffer text remains both searchable and replaceable, and preview-latex uses isearch-hooks and similar to make this as natural and convenient as possible. It has been doing this for years, probably like all applications using the display property on non-trivial texts. Doing an incompatible interface change breaking such packages at the current point of time would be misguided. Even if it weren't, it is wrong to do such a large change in the course of the 22.1 release. You can't expect all package authors to have adapted to such an incompatible change as fast as that. Please don't. I can't see any advantage of breaking working packages right now for no currently apparent significant practical advantage. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
