When putting an overlay over multiple lines, the line numbers of
`display-line-numbers-mode` are hidden.
(defun bug ()
(display-line-numbers-mode)
(goto-char (point-min))
(let ((ov (make-overlay (line-beginning-position)
(save-excursion (forward-line 4)
(line-beginning-position)))))
(overlay-put ov 'invisible t)
(overlay-put ov 'before-string "line1\nline2\nline3\line3\nline4\n")))
I've also observed the issue with Emacs 28.
