Yes, and it should be. My brain was elswhere when I wrote that bug repport. It
is not org-toggle-pretty-entities that control emphasis, it is a variable:

'org-fontify-emphaiszed-test'.

When set to nil it text should not be rendered in italiccs, bold etc, but it
still is. It is still a bug. Manual says that setting this variable to nil will
turn fontification for marked up text:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Emphasis-and-Monospace.html

I appologize for the confusion, I don't know what was with me, why I looked at
org-togge-pretty-entities at all.

Yes of course, I did it in emacs -Q both in repport and now.

Forgett about decompose regions, I was looking at wrong spot as described above.
