address@hidden: Extraneous newline added in display]

[Richard Stallman]

I can't reproduce this using quail to enter the ä characters,
and I don't have a keyboard with that character.  Can you figure
out a way to investigate this?

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In an xterm (with color support)
emacs -q -nw -l hlbug.el

Type C-l C-n C-e.  Enter ä (an umlauted a) twice.

The first ä will display correctly on the end of the line.  The
second will appear on the _next_ line.  Hitting C-l again will
correct the display.

This behavior was discovered with the highlight-current-line
package.  The package may be useless with hl-line-mode included with
emacs, but still, the code in the hlbug.el below looks correct.

Could someone take a look at this?

- ---- hlbug.el ----
(defvar highlight-current-line-overlay
  ;; Dummy initialization
  (make-overlay 1 1)
  "Overlay for highlighting."
  )

(make-face 'highlight-current-line-face)
(set-face-foreground 'highlight-current-line-face
                     "white")
(set-face-background 'highlight-current-line-face
                     "blue")
(overlay-put highlight-current-line-overlay
             'face 'highlight-current-line-face)
(defun highlight-current-line-hook ()
  (let ((current-point (point)))
    ;; Set overlay
    (move-overlay highlight-current-line-overlay
                  (progn (beginning-of-line)
                         (point))
                  (progn (forward-line 1)
                         (point))
                  (current-buffer))
    (goto-char current-point)))
