By ``bug'' in this case I meant a design bug. It's at least a bad misfeature, and surely shouldn't be on by default in compilation buffers. Unlike buffers that display program sources (where GUD uses the overlay arrow), whose most lines tend to be indented, compilation buffers have almost all of their lines start at column zero, so the arrow will always hide something. > > Also, the arrow feature is not customizable.

Let me be sure I understand you correctly, Kim: are you actually saying that this is a good feature, the way it behaves in current CVS? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
