glyphs are sort of broken in 21.4.1 (and later)

XEmacs 21.4.1 (same for 21.5.0) isn't backwards compatible in how it treats glyphs. On the other hand, 21.2.47 "worked". Suppose I paste this into the *scratch* buffer: (let ((glyph (make-glyph (vector 'xpm :file "~/alpha.xpm")))) (make-annotation glyph nil 'text (get-buffer (current-buffer))) (insert "TEXT\n") (make-annotation glyph nil 'text (get-buffer (current-buffer))) (insert "TEXT\n")) Then I go the end of this expression and hit C-x C-e. With 21.2.47, I get [picture]TEXT [picture]TEXT With 21.4.1, I get TEXT TEXT [picture][picture] Glancing at the documentation for make-annotation and the info page for "Annotation Basics", I think the old behavior is correct -- I think this is what the 'text layout is supposed to do -- but I'm not positive. -- J.
