I think I get, but this sounds strange to me. Are you saying that when a new
subtitle, which overlaps the current displayed, appears, it pushes the previous
upward? This is strange, beacuse this patch should make room on the screen
for following subtitles that overlap the current with blank lines. If this doesn't
work for you, please send me the subtiles file, maybe it's my fault. My e-mail is
salvatore dot falco at katamail dot com.

I don't think so, if you like overlapping subtitles you like it always, as I do ;)

    Thank you for your answer. Best regards, Salvatore Falco
