1. emacs -Q
2. Create new buffer bug.el
3. Activate flymake-mode (for the overlay)
4. Enter "  invalid-ident" (note the spaces at the beginning)
5. Wait until the flymake overlay appears

6a. Move the point to the buffer beginning
7a. M-: (posn-x-y (posn-at-point)) -> (0 . 0) is reported, correct

6b. Move the point to the beginning of "|invalid-ident" with the overlay
7b. M-: (posn-x-y (posn-at-point)) -> (26 . 21) is reported, Y wrong

6c. Move the point to the right, "i|nvalid-ident"
7c. M-: (posn-x-y (posn-at-point)) -> (39 . 0) is reported, correct

This bug is a regression of Emacs 28. I cannot reproduce this on Emacs
27, there I always get Y=0.

The overlay doesn't seem to appear for me, for some reason.

Could you please post a recipe that doesn't require Flymake?  Surely,
creating an overlay doesn't require such heavy machinery?  I tried to
put a simple overlay with before-string in a buffer, but didn't see
any problem with the Y coordinate reported by posn-at-point, so I
guess there's a need in something special in that overlay.

Thanks.

I am using emacs -Q. I just recompiled the current emacs-28 branch.
After some time flymake should underline the invalid identifier.

> Could you please post a recipe that doesn't require Flymake?
Try this command:

(defun posn-bug ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((buffer (get-buffer-create "*bug*")))
    (with-current-buffer buffer
      (erase-buffer)
      (pop-to-buffer buffer)
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (insert "  word")
      (let ((ov (make-overlay 3 7)))
        (overlay-put ov 'before-string
          #("!" 0 1 (display (left-fringe exclamation-mark error))))
        (message "Reported positions %S %S %S %S %S %S %S"
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 1))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 2))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 3))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 4))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 5))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 6))
                 (posn-x-y (posn-at-point 7)))))))

So did I.

What can I say?  I didn't see it.
