Subject: 23.2; feature wish: put priority on vcursor overlay
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:48:30 +0200

Hi,

the vcursor is invisible in the locked regions of Proof General,
because the overlay of the locked region has priority 100 and the
vcursor overlay has no priority set. 

Below I attach a patch that adds a defcustom
vcursor-overlay-priority to the vcursor package, which fixes this
problem. (I hereby assign copyright in this patch to the emacs
project/FSF.)

Bye,

Hendrik Tews
