Paul,
I have two possible answers. One is to have someone with the problem try this:
*** semantic.el.or Mon Feb 12 08:02:33 2001
--- semantic.el Mon Feb 12 08:03:57 2001
***************
*** 245,251 ****
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-p 'extentp)
)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-live-p 'overlay-buffer)
! (defalias 'semantic-make-overlay 'make-overlay)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-put 'overlay-put)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-get 'overlay-get)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-delete 'delete-overlay)
--- 245,253 ----
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-p 'extentp)
)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-live-p 'overlay-buffer)
! (defalias 'semantic-make-overlay
! (lambda (beg end)
! (overlay-put (make-overlay beg end) 'face nil)))
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-put 'overlay-put)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-get 'overlay-get)
(defalias 'semantic-overlay-delete 'delete-overlay)
which basically forces a null face onto all overlays created by
semantic when it is created. Other possibilities is to set the face
to 'default. (This is for Emacs, not XEmacs.)
In the next version of semantic, token streams without buffers will be
supported. It might be possible to have an option to turn off
overlays all together. It will take a bit of work to make it
go, though not as much as making it work in semantic 1.3.2.
Unfortunately removing overlays will remove a bunch of the features
that will make semantic faster to use.
