posn-at-point returns information about the first visible buffer
position after the overlay string.

I see, thanks. But does the fact that we get a different return value with different values of bidi-display-reordering, look right to you?

So I think you need to make sure inside company--col-row that the
overlay is popped down, before you call posn-at-point.  Evidently, in
some scenarios it isn't.

Yes, seems to be a bug with the way we set the "current" keymap when completion is performed (the popup is displayed only during that time). Thank you for confirming, I'm looking into it.

The buffer position returned by
posn-at-point can serve as your control variable: if it is different
from the position that is the argument to company--col-row, you have
this situation.

Ok. I can just directly check if the overlay has the `invisible' property set to t or not, though. We keep a reference to the overlay.
