Subject: Re: Two more overlay display bugs
Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:17:41 -0400

This was cloned from 1200, since 1200 contains two bugs.

> BUG #1:  An overlay's after-string property that would appear at the
> end of the buffer is not displayed, if the same overlay also has a
> display property and an immediately preceding overlay also has an
> after-string property.  (Putting extra characters at the end of the
> buffer works around this bug.)

This is fixed (see bug#1200).

> BUG #2:  An overlay's display property and after-string property are
> not displayed if an immediately following overlay shares the same Lisp
> string as its display property.  (Using two distinct display strings
> with identical contents works around the bug.)

This bug, 1208, is for this issue.
