Subject: bug#11068: 24.0.94;	Face-remapped background does not extend to end of window
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:47:28 +0200

Amendment: I see now why specifying a number for the cursor property
_is_ useful.  It seems that I can get what I initially mentioned (color
just the selected window) by doing


(defvar my-end-overlay nil)
(defvar my-start-overlay nil)
(defvar my-string nil)
(defvar my-window (selected-window))

(progn
  (when (overlayp my-end-overlay)
    (delete-overlay my-end-overlay))
  (when (overlayp my-start-overlay)
    (delete-overlay my-start-overlay))
  (setq my-end-overlay (make-overlay 0 0))
  (setq my-start-overlay (make-overlay 0 0))
  (overlay-put my-start-overlay 'face 'lazy-highlight)
  (overlay-put my-start-overlay 'window my-window)
  (move-overlay my-start-overlay (point-min) (point-max))

  (setq my-string (propertize (make-string 100 10) 'face 'lazy-highlight))
  (put-text-property 0 1 'cursor 100 my-string)
  (overlay-put my-end-overlay 'after-string my-string)
  (overlay-put my-end-overlay 'window my-window)
  (move-overlay my-end-overlay (point-max) (point-max)))


(ignoring stickyness, insertion, and change of selected window) just
that moving to the end of the buffer doesn't yet seem quite correct.
