bug#16192: hl-line-mode: Current line highlighting takes precedence over region highlighting

[Jarosław Rzeszótko]

Hi,

There is now a little quirk if the window has a margin, see here:

The first column on the left is the margin (as in left-margin-width), and the bright yellow rectangle is the cursor block. When the margin is disabled, it does fix the issue for me.

Cheers,

Actually, that depends on the relative position/size of the two.
I've just installed a patch which lowers the priority of the hl-line
highlighting, which seems like a good thing to do in general and which
should resolve this problem (unless you use the same attributes for the
region and the hl-line faces).
