Stop working when cursor is on a link if `org-fold-core-style` is set to 'overlays, can anyone else confirm?

[zbelial]

First, thanks for this great package.

I'm using orgmode 9.6.6 with Emacs 29.1 on Linux. I set org-fold-core-style to 'overlays to solve the problem that org-cycle does not work sometimes.

After changing org-fold-core-style to 'test-properties (the default value), org-appear works as expected again.

I'm also on org 9.6.6 and have org-fold-core-style set to 'overlay. Org-appear works for me, although there are freezes sometimes that I believe to be unrelated to this package. I'm running Emacs 30.0.50.

Hi @walseb , thanks.

I have had no luck. I can reproduce the problem with emacs -Q, the following was how I did:

1. emacs -Q
2. eval the config:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-appear")

(setq org-fold-core-style 'overlays)

(require 'org)
(require 'org-appear)

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-appear-mode)

(setq org-appear-trigger 'always)
(setq org-appear-autosubmarkers t)
(setq org-appear-autoentities t)
(setq org-appear-autolinks t)

3. Open an org file with links, org-appear does not work when the cursor is on links

org-fold-core-style must be set before loading org. You set it before or after loading org? Thanks.

Hello!

Yes I set it long before org loads, in my early-init.el. However, I don't use org-appear with links, only things like bold, etc. Maybe this is only an issue with links.

Also was using (setq org-fold-core-style 'overlays). Turned if off, links work.

Interestingly enough, I now have the exact same problem, but the other way around. In Emacs 29.3, with Org 9.6.15.

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-appear")

(setq org-fold-core-style 'text-properties)

(require 'org)
(require 'org-appear)

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-appear-mode)

(setq org-appear-trigger 'always)
(setq org-appear-autosubmarkers t)
(setq org-appear-autoentities t)
(setq org-appear-autolinks t)

Since text-properties is the default value, links were not revealed at first. When I switched to overlays after seeing this issue, org-appear started working on links.

I am running emacs 29.3 with org version 9.8. org-fold-core-style is set to 'overlays

Links are not working for me post org-fold support were added to org-appear If I pin to commit 8dd1e564153d8007ebc4bb4e14250bde84e26a34, links work. also no issues observed with org-fold.

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond to this!

It should be fixed now but note that, for Org versions above 9.7, using the org-9.7-fixes branch is recommended. This is all because of huge revamps in org-fold and org-element over the last 2 years.

Please reopen if there are similar issues after the fix.
