Could you please try your changed version with various commands that use

The only calls to momentary-string-display are in ada-prj.el,
fortran.el, pascal.el, and table.el; but I don't use any of those
libraries, so I wouldn't be able to tell whether the function is
working the same, better, or worse in those contexts.
As for this code,
! ;; If the message end is off screen, recenter now.
! (if (< (window-end nil t) insert-end)
! (recenter (/ (window-height) 2)))
! ;; If that pushed message start off the screen,
! ;; scroll to start it at the top of the screen.
! (move-to-window-line 0)
! (if (> (point) pos)
! (progn
! (goto-char pos)
! (recenter 0))))
you could replace it with some reasonable heuristic that
doesn't go wrong very often.
As I meant to say, the same heuristic can be used by replacing the
reference to insert-end with (+ pos (length string)) -- as long as
the new call to overlay-put causes a redisplay that updates window-end
just as the original call to insert does.
Is there a problem with the current heuristic? I think now that I
should have left that code in (with insert-end replaced as described).
