If I set a different value to display-fill-column-indicator with
customize-variable and save; the display should be updated to use the
new value right? (display the indicator or hide it)
I have never used customize-variable, so maybe that's not the expected
behavior.
After changing the value, you need to click "STATE" and select "Set
for current session". Did you do that?
Yes, I did, and there is not change.
I have a patch from some days ago applied here, sorry if this is
outdated, but I see something suspicious. After M-x customize-variable
display-fill-column-indicator-character :
Hide display-fill-column-indicator-character: nil
State : STANDARD. (mismatch)
Character to draw the indicator when ‘display-fill-column-indicator’ is non-n
That "nil" and "mismatch" are not right. This is the definition of the
variable in xdisp.c:
DEFVAR_LISP ("display-fill-column-indicator-character",
Vdisplay_fill_column_indicator_character,
doc: /* Character to draw the indicator when `display-fill-column-indicator'
is non-nil.
The default is U+2502 but a good alternative is (ascii 124) if
the font in fill-column-face does not support Unicode characters. */);
Vdisplay_fill_column_indicator_character = Qnil;
DEFSYM (Qdisplay_fill_column_indicator_character,
"display-fill-column-indicator-character");
Fmake_variable_buffer_local (Qdisplay_fill_column_indicator_character);
I know next to nothing about those macros, but look suspicious.
