>     (insert "XXX")
>     (setq overlay (make-overlay opoint (point)))

>     (overlay-put overlay 'mouse-face 'highlight))

> M-x eval-buffer RET
> Move the mouse over the XXX that was inserted.

> Result: multiple lines are highlighted, from the end of the first buffer
> line to the end of the display string.

> Expected result (works in Emacs 23): only the XXX is highlighted.

I think I fixed this (trunk revision 106827), but please test,
including any variations on this theme you can come up with.  The
bidi-aware mouse highlight is tricky business, especially when display
strings are involved.
