I'm working on making life a little easier for myself in the
input-method department by re-writing egg to function completly with
extents, and in the process I've come across a slightly strange
display situation I want to change. I'm creating regions with start
and end glyphs that are closed at both ends, with the intent that
inserting data anywhere in the extent will go into the extent. This
works as expected, with one problem: the cursor if at the end of the
extent is drawn AFTER the extent end glyph. I am proposing (have
already started the work) to alter the behaivior so that when an end
(or start, for that matter) is closed, the cursor will be drawn inside
the respective glyph. This way there is better feedback to the user as
to where input is going.

Any screams of anguish from the audience?
