24.3.50; Region face takes priority over any overlay faces inside? |

I'm seeing inconsistent behavior with this.
There is an overlay inside the active region, it has a `face' property.
With default theme, the foreground and background attributes of that
face are never used, the values from `region' face are used.
But if I switch to another theme (e.g. M-x load-theme RET leuven), the
inner overlay becomes easily visible.
Backstory here: https://github.com/leoliu/easy-kill/issues/3
To reproduce:
1. Install `easy-mark' from https://github.com/leoliu/easy-kill.git
2. Open a buffer with some Elisp, move point to where some text is, type
`M-x easy-mark'.
3. Some part of the buffer becomes selected with an active region. The
previous position of point is marked by the "origin" overlay, with face
that's inheriting from `error'. However, the colors don't come through.
Here's how it looks for me: http://imgur.com/a/2VZyZ

This is also what I see (except for the exact colors) if I use one of
many other themes (such as leuven, adwaita, dichromacy).
Curiously, wheatgrass behaves the same as the default one in this
respect. And if I switch to wheatgrass and only then to leuven, then I
also see the same behavior there.
Which is the right behavior? Like I mentioned in the discussion there,
Displaying Faces[0] seems to indicate that `region' face should prevail
at all times.

I just installed a patch which makes the region's highlight into
a plain-old overlay, so your problem is probably replaced by new ones ;-)
So far it seems fixed though. Thanks!
