RE: Text properties and extents displayed incorrectly

-----Original Message----- From: xemacs-beta-admin(a)xemacs.org [mailto:xemacs-beta-admin＠xemacs.org]On Behalf Of David Byers Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 3:34 AM To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Text properties and extents displayed incorrectly Dear Bug Team! When adding text properties or extents with visible attributes (e.g. face), the attributes are only applied to the end of the line, not to the edge of the window, even if the line break character(s) are included. For example, it does not appear to be possible to display part of the buffer using a separate background color by applying text properties or an overlay -- the background color is applied to the characters in the buffer, but not to the area where there are no characters. In Gnu Emacs, when an overlay or text properties are applied to the line break, the properties will display to the edge of the window. I find this much more useful than what XEmacs permits. Ideally it would be possible to configure which behavior to apply, and for the sake of consistency I think that the one implemented by Gnu Emacs should be the default (besides, I have yet to find an occasion where I preferred the XEmacs behavior). This face problem is causing usability problems in an application that I maintain. -- David Byers. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux eeyore 2.4.19-pre5-eeyore #1 Fri Apr 5 00:42:42 EST 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-sound=none,native' '--cflags=-O2 -g -Wall' '--with-x11' '--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs-21.4.6' '--prefix=/usr' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--dynamic' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--with_menubars=lucid' '--with_scrollbars=lucid' '--with_dialogs=athena' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.6/i386-debian-linux/mule/' '--with-mule' '--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs/xemacs-pack
