Is this the intended behaviour, and, if so, why? One could argue the case either way, but I think the more sensical behaviour would be to display it using the overlay-arrow-string of the buffer that the arrow resides in. Then, if you switch between e.g, `vm' and `gdb-mode', you don't get trash for your arrows. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
