Copying (let (ov) (insert "\n\nxxx") (setq ov (make-overlay (line-beginning-position) (point))) (overlay-put ov 'mouse-face 'highlight) (overlay-put ov 'display "yyy"))
into the *scratch* buffer and typing `C-x C-e' with point at the last parenthesis, you will see the string "yyy" further below. If you hover with the mouse pointer over it, not only the string will be highlighted (which is what I expected) but also the line above the string. (I don't know if this is related, but some time ago I reported a bug concerning partial highlighting of a wrapped overlay (see <URL:http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs:4225>). According to src/ChangeLog I think it was fixed on 2005-01-18. Maybe the fix has something to do with it?)
