ivy-overlay should require 'overlay.el'

[Dickby]

not shure but on my emacs it only works if i require 'overlay'

[abo-abo]

I have no overlay.el on my system. All functions used (overlay-put etc) are C functions.

It's not working on my emacs:
GNU Emacs 26.0.50.12

[Dickby]

if i require overlay it is working for short time and then it gives the error:
ivy--insert-minibuffer: Args out of range: #<buffer scratch>, 0, 1

[abo-abo]

if i require overlay it is working for short time and then it gives the error:
ivy--insert-minibuffer: Args out of range: #, 0, 1

Please provide a reproduction scenario.

Also, what error do you get if you don't (require 'overlay)?

[Dickby]

i start emacs with -Q
M-x package-initialize
M-x ivy-mode
M-x customize-variable
ivy-display-funktion
set it to overlay
save for session only
M-x

and i get the error message
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

[abo-abo]

You don't need to customize anything, it's all automatic. The overlay function will be used only from ivy-completion-in-region.

[Dickby]

so how do i enable it to show completion in an overlay?

[Dickby]

got it thanks.
