Pardon me, but that's nonsense. How can I be sure that the change "only takes action in the bug case" ? How can I be sure that _any_ change in redisplay will not have unexpected side-effects ... in my experience, most "first attempt" redisplay changes aimed at fixing corner-case bugs have unexpected side-effects. Redisplay is just so damn complicated that I would never use the word "sure" in that context. -- Kim F.
