Re: [PATCH v2] Fix background color of latex previews

[Roshan Shariff]

Hi Timothy,

Thanks again for your work on this exciting feature! I tried out your
new code and it does indeed fix the problem on Emacs 29. But then I
remembered that I originally encountered the issue on Emacs 28, and
sure enough the issue persists there.

To summarize, to get it to look right on Emacs 28, you need to append
the face spec '(:inherit default :extend t) to the list of faces,
rather than just 'default. Otherwise, when an equation overlay wraps
to the next line in visual-line-mode, you'll see the background color
of the org-block face leak through after the end-of-line. Emacs 29
appears to behave more sensibly: if the overlay wraps to the next
line, its face is not applied to the end of the current line.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the problem, showing the grey blocks at
the end of the first two lines. The second screenshot is after
applying this patch, which sets the :extend face attribute:
