Yes. > If so, why? Because the overlay stays put for a prolonged time and distracts my attention. Also, a prolonged highlight looks like part of the buffer's fontification, so it's not easy to understand what it wants to say until it goes away. A short blink of the highlight, by contrast, does a very good job of instantly showing me where the spot is, and then disappears, leaving me with only the normal buffer contents. I might agree to a longer default delay if the overlay would go away the moment some input event comes in; currently it doesn't. In any case, this issue sounds very minor to me, hardly something we should bother with now. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
