Hello, I found an issue related to overlays that causes Emacs to hang when scrolling up: The minimal reproducer I could get: - two line overlays with empty 'display - an overlay with 'before-string & 'display with multiple lines When you scroll up to the beginning of the buffer, Emacs hangs. C-g does nothing, neither does kill -SIGUSR2. Attached is a minimal reproducer: 1. emacs -Q -l overlay-scroll-freeze.el -f overlay-scroll-freeze 2. hold C-p to move point to the start of the buffer 3. Emacs hangs when reaching the beginning of the buffer I am pretty sure that the issue started on emacs31; although I didn't reinstall emacs30 to verify the reproducer.
