The help-echo property of an overlay with a display string does not affect any before-string or after-string. I class this as a minor problem since one can work around it by applying the help-echo property by hand to the before- and after-string; though this does lead to a slight glitch of the help-echo disappearing as one moves across the boundary of the display part. Example: (let ((buff (generate-new-buffer "overlay test")) o) (with-current-buffer buff (insert "text") (setq o (make-overlay (point-min) (point-max))) (overlay-put o 'help-echo "help!") (overlay-put o 'display "display") (overlay-put o 'before-string "before string") ;;; (overlay-put o 'before-string (propertize "before string" 'help-echo "help!)) (overlay-put o 'after-string "after string") (pop-to-buffer buff))) Only "display" has help-echo. The commented out part illustrates the work-around.

The current behaviour provides the flexibility for different help-echo texts on the various pieces, if desired. Or why not just use only the display piece?
