- We plan to make selective-display work again once we finish a big cleanup of
- redisplay. But it might only take a few hours to make selective-display work
- in the existing redisplay. If any of you feel up to it, the relevant code
- is display_text_line() in xdisp.c. This kind of thing tends to go wrong at
- every possible juncture, so check it thoroughly before you decide that it
- works (enter selective-display mode 1, 2, 3, and 4 columns from the right
- margin, for example.)
-
- It will at least a couple of months before the new redisplay code is done;
- some other things have come up.
