Redisplay looks at the buffer-local value of overlay-arrow-position in the current buffer (window) being displayed -- so if you set it buffer-local in *gud* buffer, it will still be nil in the source buffer -- so no arrow is shown in the source buffer... IOW, what you suggest does not work as a general feature, so can we please stop this thread. -- Kim F.
