* 26.3; org-indent-mode's line-prefix text property flickers near overlays

Hello,

The line-prefix text property set by org-indent-mode sometimes vanishes
when typing near a line where an overlay is applied.  To reproduce:

- emacs -Q
- C-x C-f repro.org
- M-x org-indent-mode
- M-: (insert "* heading\ntext")
- M-:
(let ((ov (make-overlay (point-at-bol) (point-at-bol)))
      (val (propertize " " 'display '((left-fringe right-triangle)))))
  (overlay-put ov 'before-string val))
- RET
- a

When "a" is inserted, org-indent-mode's line-prefix disappears on the
*previous* line ("text").  It remains gone as long as I type
self-inserting characters, until

- I type certain commands, e.g. RET or C-j, or

- I insert a closing delimiter that makes
  blink-paren-post-self-insert-function blink the corresponding opening
  delimiter, e.g. ')' or ']'.

Then the line-prefix shows up again.


This recipe is simplified; I originally found this bug in Org files
under version control with diff-hl-flydiff-mode enabled.  When typing in
new content, the preceding line is shoved to the left until I stop
typing; after diff-hl-flydiff-delay, diff-hl's idle timer kicks in and
updates its overlay, which as a side-effect makes org-indent-mode's
line-prefix come back up.

See [1] for my original bug report to diff-hl and some crude
"analysis".


I'm clearly out of my depth; at least I hope I used the correct terms to
describe the symptoms I've observed.  Let me know if there is anything I
can do to help debug this.

Thank you for your time.

In fact, it's enough to type "M-x".  Which is a clear sign that some
redisplay optimization kicks in where it shouldn't.  And indeed,
setting inhibit-try-window-id non-nil solves the problem.

I will look into this when I have time, thanks for an easy reproducer.

Should be fixed now on the master branch.

Thanks a lot!

I'm sorry I didn't notice it earlier, but I may have found another mole
for you to whack; starting with the same recipe:

> - M-:

This time, instead of hitting RET, insert a pair of parentheses, and
wait blink-matching-delay seconds until the opening parenthesis stops
being highlighted.  Before and after your fix, the line-prefix
disappears until I enter another command.

AFAICT you've scared the moles away, so I'll boldly close this report.
Thanks a lot for the efficient whacking!

(I guess xdisp.c is something we won't to touch with a 10-foot pole on
the release branch, especially for a bug that users have lived with for
so long?)
