Hi Stefan, Thanks for the patch.

OK. In addition to the places you've identified, it's also mentioned here: ./contrib/lisp/org-colview-xemacs.el:396: (overlay-put ov 'intangible t) ./contrib/lisp/org-eval.el:154: (list 'display value 'intangible t 'font-lock-multiline t ./lisp/org.el:11165: (unless (get-text-property (match-end group) 'intangible) ; Emacs 21 > So I'd like to install the patch below.

I can't even make the first modified function do what it is documented to do. From the special text properties documentation and the documentation of the changed I don't see a reason why it would not be OK. I'll install it in master and it will eventually get back to Emacs-core once 8.3 released assuming no unforeseen breakages are associated with the change. Thanks, Rasmus -- Not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
