Subject: bug#13718: [patch] prevents hl-line from overriding highlight-mode
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:28:37 -0500

Hello,

I found that the overlays in highlight-mode do not override the
overlays from global-hl-line-mode, causing them to disappear on the
currently active line.  The solution I found was to edit hi-lock.el to
increase the priority of the overlay, as outlined in this patch:

--- hi-lock.el 2012-08-28 19:40:24.000000000 -0400
+++ hi-lock.el 2013-02-14 12:57:56.715031100 -0500

             (goto-char search-start)
             (while (re-search-forward regexp search-end t)
               (let ((overlay (make-overlay (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))))
+                (overlay-put overlay 'priority 1)
                 (overlay-put overlay 'hi-lock-overlay t)
                 (overlay-put overlay 'hi-lock-overlay-regexp serial)
                 (overlay-put overlay 'face face))

My Emacs version is: 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) 2012-08-28 on MARVIN

Thanks,
Fei
