I have to say that I'm surprised about the way this issue has been fixed. Let me tell you why. 1) The fix 'simply' removes a useful Org functionality, which I use for 3 years now, without providing any alternative. 2) The first approach would have been to try to fix the issue instead of completely removing the functionality which, as I already said, is present since a long time. 3) A possible workaround, without completely removing org-block-background, would have been to add a variable in order for people to activate (or de-activate) it and use it (or avoid the issue). 4) To conclude, according to Stefan Monnier (see his answser from 2014-07-29 11:38), the issue is due to a bug in ps-def.el and not in Org: > It's a problem in the ps-def.el code which handles the `face' property > in a "naive" way: it fails to merge the various active face properties > (from the various overlays and the text-property). Could you, then, put org-block-background back and let the fix be done in Emacs and not in Org? Thanks a lot. Regards, Francesco
