Re: Display problems with `before-string' in overlay

I'm not questioning that you have seen it, just the wisdom of ignoring the
advice of those who are experts in that part of the code and say that it is
dangerous to fix shortly before the release.

Given that you appear to be the only one to have been inconvenienced by this
bug (and how often do you need an overlay at the start of the buffer?) while
probably thousands want to see a release, and thousands more want to see
Unicode added to Emacs, I just find the whole thing absurd.  Some things
are worth dying for, but I don't this is one of them.
