I use VM(4.40) to read mail and GNUS(3.12) to read news.
In gnus overlay-arrow-string is used to provide the
gnus-more-message string in the article buffer. I have noticed the
following behaivour and would like to now if anyone else has noticed
this and/or fixed the problem.
(1) The gnus-more-message string is ocassionally being repeated in
the buffer from the end of the text to the bottom of the buffer
window.
(2) If I start reading my mail, then move to reading news. On
return to reading news the string in gnus-more-message will be
used as my vm summary pointer instead of "->".
The results of my excursion into the elisp code have found that
vm, gnus, dbx and maybe a number of other buffer modes use the
same variable "overlay-arrow-string" as a buffer pointer. The
last one to set the variable keeps it that way.
Does anyone have fix for these two problems.
Anthony
