[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello, in the attached images are two cases I noticed where
`display-fill-column-indicator-mode' causes display bugs. First case is
with faces that use the :overline or :underline property, the lines will
extend fully towards the indicator. Second case is with `company-mode' when
there's no text entered and the completion dialog pops up which
display-fill-column-indicator-mode treats like ordinary text.

Jimmy, could you please take a look at these two issues?

Thanks.

Hi Eli:

I will give a look the next week. 

The org mode issue seems more or less easy to fix. 

But for the company-mode I need to check if there is a condition to distinguish normal text from the company popups. From the display engine. Else we could consider to extend the line always until the end of the screen... If that is possible...

The glyph rows generated by Company should all have their ends_at_zv_p
flag set in this use case, AFAIR.  Maybe this will help.

Hi Eli:

I have been looking into this issue and I already fixed both, but I have
a doubt and two comments.

Comment:

1) The condition ends_at_zv_p didn't work as expected, I don't know If
this is an issue somewhere else, but at least in my tests, the condition
was always false. (for all the lines implied before and after ZV, where
there was company window or not)

So the filter condition I am using now is:

IT_CHARPOS (*it) < ZV

which seems to work fine.

2) There is a corner case because the indicator is never generated for
the latest line in the buffer. So a \n is required always at the end of
the buffer if there is text, which for me is fine (unix format), but I
don't know if I should correct that, should I? This issue was there
before this latest changes, so it is unrelated and it is not really so
significant I think.

Doubt:

In terminal emacs, in the original emacs-26 code, in the function:
extend_face_to_end_of_line the code was:

```
face = FACE_FROM_ID (f, (it->face_before_selective_p
			   ? it->saved_face_id
			   : it->face_id));
(...)

if (it->glyph_row->ends_at_zv_p)
    it->face_id = default_face->id;
else
    it->face_id = face->id;
PRODUCE_GLYPHS (it);

while (it->current_x <= it->last_visible_x)
    PRODUCE_GLYPHS (it);
```

So the rest of the line was filled with the last face, (so this issue was
already there since then, because the rest of the line is filled with an
underlined face)

I can change the code to fill the rest of the line with a new merged
face (as I do for graphical emacs), but I think that this fix is
unrelated with dfci, so maybe someone else must give a look before to
prevent me breaking anything.

Which face is the right one to use to fill the rest of the row in the
general case?

For my case I use:
   merge_faces (it->w, Qfill_column_indicator, 0, saved_face_id)

because Qfill_column_indicator face has explicitly set underline and
overline (and some other properties) to false; But maybe we need an
extra face with same properties?

What do you suggest?

Hi Eli:

There are two different behaviors for tui and gui in
extend_face_to_end_of_line.

In gui the face is automatically extended.  It is unclear for me what
face it is using, because this has to do with the issue that in X the
last character is extended automatically, so no loop or stretch_glyph is
needed. But it seems to be using the default face because the underline
is not extend after the text and the space for the cursor.

ON the other hand, for the tui there is

     if (it->glyph_row->ends_at_zv_p)
	it->face_id = default_face->id;
     else
	it->face_id = face->id;

which extends the face using the face of the last glyph. this extends
the underline until the end of the row; but it is different to the gui
behavior, so it is incoherent.

Whats the right behavior in the general case?

Extend the underline the whole line or fit it to the text?

If it is the second whats the right face to fill until the end of the
row

Does the same policy applies to append_space_for_newline? Because now
there is an extra underlined space after the text.

I am just waiting for your recommendation in order to submit a fix for
this issue.

Thanks in advance

Esgus.

I'm not sure we could/should change something here.

The company popup renderer makes it seem like the buffer spans longer 
than it does. I think it's okay, and it might not be the place of the 
display engine to second-guess it.

Unix format has nothing to do with this, as in a buffer we always have
only \n characters at end of line.  But notr having the indicator show
in the last line of a buffer that doesn't end in a newline is
unfortunate.  Which is why I suggested to test the ends_at_zv_p flag.
What exactly didn't work with it?  Can you show me a test case where
the glyph rows past ZV don't have this flag set?  Maybe you should
test the enabled_p flag as well?

This is a more general issue, and I will respond to your question on
emacs-devel.

Hi Eli:

I just made this test:

in this code (in xdisp.c):

if (it->current_x < indicator_column_x)
 {
   it->face_id = merge_faces (it->w, Qextend_to_end_of_line,
                              0, extend_face_merged_id);

   it->char_to_display = XFIXNAT (Vdisplay_fill_column_indicator_character);
   PRODUCE_GLYPHS (it);

   it->face_id = extend_face_merged_id;
}

I changed char_to_display:

it->char_to_display = (it->glyph_row->ends_at_zv_p) ? '1' : '0';

And then I obtained the attached image.

As you can see the condition returns 0 for lines before zv, for the last
text line and for the company extra lines.

(There's no need to make any changes for that, you can simply invoke
dump-glyph-row or dump-glyph-matrix.)

> And then I obtained the attached image.

Right, I forgot where in the code we set that flag, and display of an
after-string at EOB indeed happens before that.

But since Dmitry says the case of Company mode doesn't need to be
fixed, I think this is a moot point now.  We should only solve the
issue with attributes being extended all the way towards the indicator
column.

Thanks.

This issue is already fixed with the other condition I mentioned:

IT_CHARPOS (*it) < ZV

But ends_at_zv_p this also need to be fixed because there are some tests
inside extend_face_to_end_of_line that compare with ends_at_zv_p. In the
worst case we need to remove these comparisons.

But ideally the flag must be set before right?

I think that there is another condition somewhere else that does not
call extend_face_to_end_of_line for the last line, probably due to the
same issue.

Yes, I agree that we need to fix this first.

Just invoke these functions, they dump the glyph row's contents,
including the ends_at_zv_p, to stderr.

Not sure I understand why the comparisons need to be removed.  Can you
elaborate?

In a buffer showing only buffer text (no after-strings at EOB), all
the glyph rows starting from the one showing EOB have their
ends_at_zv_p flag set.

Hi:

In my tests inside extend_face_to_end_of_line the flag ends_at_zv_p is
always false. And for the last line (where it is supposed to be true)
the function extend_face_to_end_of_line is not called at all. So
actually all the code like:

	      if (it->glyph_row->ends_at_zv_p)
		it->face_id = default_face->id;
	      else
		it->face_id = face->id;

does nothing now.

We should fix this in order to create an indicator also for the last
line.

I think that the problem is in the condition:

if (!get_next_display_element (it)) inside display_line that filters the
call to  extend_face_to_end_of_line with:

if (row->reversed_p
   || lookup_basic_face (it->w, it->f, DEFAULT_FACE_ID) !=
   DEFAULT_FACE_ID)
     extend_face_to_end_of_line (it);

And needs to be extended probably with with:

|| (!row_text_area_empty (row))

Hi Eli:

Sorry for bothering so much.

After tying this solution I proposed yesterday to add the indicator also
for the latest line (call extend_face_to_end_of_line for a no empty line
without \n too) I get it working perfectly fine only in the tui
interface.

In gui it just doesn't work. But it seems that the issue is not due to
the condition:

if (!get_next_display_element (it));

because when I add a test glyph unconditionally there; it is not printed
in the screen, but when I add a message to stdout it is.

For sure I am missing something here, but what?

Is it possible that some optimization in the gui glue code stops
printing glyphs OR that some later code hides the extra glyphs?

I see 2 calls to extend_face_to_end_of_line that have an explicit
setting of the ends_at_zv_p flag to 'true' right before the call.  The
fact that you don't see that just means that you are not trying the
use cases where those code fragments are executed.  Which doesn't
surprise me, since the Emacs display engine supports dozens of rare
and subtle use cases, some of which are not easy to even reproduce.

Not sure about which place you are talking: there are several places
in xdisp.c where we call get_next_display_element and test that its
value is zero.

In any case, if we are going to call extend_face_to_end_of_line in
some of the places where we currently don't do that at EOB, we should
condition of the display-fill-column-indicator-mode being ON as well.

I don't think I understand what you tried well enough to answer the
question.  Can you show a patch relative to the current master?

Yes I know. I was just trying to find the key condition for our case.

Can you please show a minimal Org file to reproduce the issue with Org

Thanks, but this doesn't reproduce the problem on my system.  I've put
the above on a file foo.org, visited it from "emacs -Q" (which turns
on the Org mode automatically), then typed "M-x
display-fill-column-indicator-mode RET".  This displayed the
indicators, but didn't show any underlines.  I'm guessing there's
something else missing, something you do in your customizations.
Could you please show the minimal customizations that are necessary to
show the faces as I see them in your original report?

Thanks.

OK, I see the reason for the problem now: it's because org.el places
the face on the newline that ends the line, not just on the text of
that line.

Can one of the Org developers (CC'ed) please tell why Org does this?
Why not limit the face to the actual text, and avoid putting the face
on the newline?

Thanks.

Because it looks good.  The begin/end lines delineate a block, and if you
use a background color, then the color goes all across the window, which I
think looks good and shows the structure better.

But that happens only if the face specifies a background color.  If it
specifies, say, :underline instead, on GUI frames it just extends one
character cell beyond the last character, and on TTY frames it goes to
the end of the window, i.e. behaves inconsistently.  And with
display-fill-column-indicator-mode turned on, on GUI frames it goes
half-way till the fill column: yet another inconsistent behavior.

So if you think the current display looks good, how about making it
optional?  Then this could be turned off to avoid the inconsistent
display in those use cases where it matters.

It is possible to make it optional.  However, it seems to me that this is a
bug in the display engine that should be fixed anyway, don't you agree?

It's not a bug, it's how the display engine was designed to work.  If
we decide to change the design, and stop extending the face of the
last character to the edge of the window, when the face covers the
newline, then the issue with display-fill-column-indicator-mode in Org
mode will also go away.  But we haven't yet made such a decision, see
the discussion which starts here:

Not really intending to jump in here, but I
wonder if an enhancement like one of these
would be possible/useful.  No idea whether
this really makes sense or is relevant to
this thread - just thinking out loud.

* Add a :set keyword for `defface'.
* Add an optional SET-FUNCTION arg to
  `face-spec-set'.  It would be invoked just
  after the face gets set to SPEC.

Presumably, with something like that, code
could specify, for a given face, that setting
its attributes in certain ways would entail
performing some additional action.

For example, if background is set, without
also underlining (example - not limited to
this case), then the face would not be
applied to an eol char.

---

Otherwise, isn't it possible for the Org
code to check the face attributes and act
accordingly wrt the eol char?

Yes, this is a more general issue than just
for Org.  That's why I was thinking of
something like the suggestion above: have
face-setting let you know what the current
case is (e.g. have it set a variable, which
you can test).

Hi Eli,

I have now made this configurable in org-mode, through a variable
`org-fontify-whole-block-delimiter-line'.
The default is t, because this is how Org have been working for a while now.

Thank you.

I agree that the default should be t for reasons of backward
compatibility.
