I suppose it's a matter of taste; I rather like the old behavior, and think Juri's solution is much worse (I tried his patch). Having spaces with only a background color different looks more like a display glitch than anything else, and I think escaped spaces are a much more intuitive representation for a typical Emacs user. Regardless, the `escape-glyph' face should not be changed to accomodate this special case, as the new colors are awful for the majority of escape sequences which don't need a background color change. _If_ it's decided to treat NBSP specially in this manner, then it should have its own new face, and `escape-glyph' should be left alone. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
