Thanks, I'll try to explain.

The call inside show_mouse_face.

It calls draw_phys_cursor_glyph, which draws the glyph at the original X
position, and not the position with the mouse face offset applied.

What I was asking is whether or not it's okay to not restore
phys_cursor->x to its original value after the call to
display_and_set_cursor inside show_mouse_face, or if I should also
calculate and add the offset in erase_phys_cursor (if
cursor_in_mouse_face_p) instead.

TIA.
