feature request: no jumpy text when numbers are shown #199

I have this setting:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-o") 'ace-window) (setq aw-background nil) (custom-set-faces '(aw-leading-char-face((t (:inherit ace-jump-face-foreground :height 2.0)))))

When I hit M-o, the large window labels appear in the top left corner of each window. Because a-w background is nil, the text remains in the buffers. However, the text is modified, it all reflows down the page as though the window number had been typed in the buffer. Then after typing a number, it all reflows back. I find this behavior distracting. I would much prefer that the big number just lays over the top of the buffer, and does not cause reflows, twice.

Well that is my feature request, i.e. 'no jumpy text when numbers are shown'.

Thanks, and I really like this program.
