Subject: 27.0.91; overlay-put freeze with auto-composition-mode ligatures
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 17:05:30 -0400

It seems that when putting the after-string property to an overlay, if
auto-composition-mode is enabled and the string contains a ligature,
Emacs freezes in overlay-put.

The below code freezes when starting with emacs -Q:


    (auto-composition-mode)
    (set-char-table-range composition-function-table ?= `(["=>" 0 compose-gstring-for-graphic]))
    (let ((o (make-overlay (point-min) (+ (point-min) 3) (current-buffer))))
      (overlay-put o 'after-string "=>"))

If auto-composition-mode is disabled or the string doesn't contain any ligatures, it works as expected.

Additionally, if I create the overlay then enable auto-composition-mode afterwards, it then freezes.
