Package: emacs
Version: 24.3.50
With a test file lambda.el which contains 1000 identical lines:
(lambda (x) x)
emacs -Q --eval "(setq-default prog-prettify-symbols t)" lambda.el
In most cases, lambda is correctly composed to λ; in a few, it is
composed (apparently) like a supperposition of the characters in
"lambda" (attached image included).
If I visit lambda.el as in the example above, and scroll down the
buffer, I get 26 such failures, always at the same lines (168, 280,
364, 432, 489, 538, 581, 619, 654, 686, 715, 742, 767, 791, 813, 834,
854, 873, 891, 908, 924, 940, 955, 970, 984 and 998); however, if upon
visiting the file I go to the end of the buffer and scroll up, I get
many more failures (about 60) at diferent lines, but also consistently
the same lines.
