Minibuffer prompt and extents

Hi all, I expected the following to produce a colored minibuffer prompt, but apparently redisplay is not honoring extents for the minibuf_prompt ? Is there a well known restriction here ? Tested both in XEmacs 21.5 (beta32) \"habanero\" b0d40183ac79+ XEmacs Lucid (defun my-minibuf-setup-hook () (let ((ext (make-extent 0 (length prompt) prompt))) (set-extent-property ext 'face 'blue) (set-extent-property ext 'duplicable t)))) (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'my-minibuf-setup-hook) Another test I made was (eval'ed in *scratch*), both "My prompt" shown in blue, but read-minibuffer did not comply with the extent: (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'my-minibuf-setup-hook) (setq a "My prompt") (setq a-e (make-extent 0 (length a) a)) (set-extent-property a-e 'face 'blue) (set-extent-property a-e 'duplicable t) (setq b a) a "My prompt" b "My prompt" (read-minibuffer a) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
