Re: [Emacs-trunk-diffs] Changes to emacs/lisp/faces.el

[Richard Stallman]

    I guess I can cope with the new behaviour (which was never that of the 
    display table, however). But then you must rename the face once more.

It applies to escape sequences, so I think the name fits.  I will see
if the doc string should be changed.

    Open a binary file, and apply some face (like mouse drag) to a region 
    with intermittent special glyphs. Even though selection or bold do not 
    collide with the default face you chose, only the normal characters get 
    this face. That way it is impossible to see where the bounds of the 
    selection are.

That sounds like a bug.  I am not sure I understand the current
display or face code enough to fix it, but I will try.
