+  It is not easy to display a value of point in the middle of a sequence
+of text that has the @code{display} or @code{composition} property.  So
+after a command finishes and returns to the command loop, if point is
+within such a sequence, the command loop normally moves point to the
+edge of the sequence.
+
+  A command can inhibit this feature by setting the variable
+@code{disable-point-adjustment}:
+
+@defvar disable-point-adjustment
+@tindex disable-point-adjustment
+If this variable is non-@code{nil} when a command returns to the command
+loop, then the command loop does not check for text properties such as
+@code{display} and @code{composition}, and does not move point out of
+sequences that have these properties.
+
+The command loop sets this variable to @code{nil} before each command,
+so if a command sets it, the effect applies only to that command.

 When mouse events occur in special parts of a window, such as a mode
 line or a scroll bar, the event type shows nothing special---it is the
 same symbol that would normally represent that combination of mouse
 button and modifier keys.  The information about the window part is kept
 elsewhere in the event---in the coordinates.  But
 @code{read-key-sequence} translates this information into imaginary
