I did start to patch files exposed by my limited testing (see below), but there were many, and I found I was setting 'evaporate to nil, not t. Given that, and given that magically disappearing is in general surprising default behaviour, then it would be better to retain the current overlay defaults.
Ok. Thanks for testing this. Did you find any cases where the code ought to put on t as the evaporate property? Your patches include one, in gnus-cite. Were there others? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
