The bug is, that in certain circumstances, emacs moves the point by 
using some kind of scrolling for "(goto-char (point-max))", instead of 
just jumping.

Repro:

- create a file using the little C program at the end (it produces a 
large text to stdout, you'll need to redirect it to some file)

- open the file with "emacs -Q generated.txt"

- with M-:, execute this:

    (progn
      (setq scroll-conservatively 101)
      (font-lock-add-keywords nil '(((lambda (bound)) (1 'error prepend 
t))) t)
      (goto-char (point-max)))

Notice that emacs doesn't jump to the end immediately as usual, but it 
does some kind of very fast scrolling.

(With long-line-threshold set to nil, the issue doesn't happen)

In my real case, a much smaller file produces this problem. Also, Emacs 
doesn't go to the end of the file, but stops somewhere in the middle (I 
was unable to reproduce this issue with a simple configuration). So to 
go to the end of the file I have to run "(goto-char (point-max))" 
multiple times. Interestingly, "M->" works fine. But if I remove the 
recenter call at the end of "end-of-buffer", it also has this odd behavior.


Here is the C program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
     for (int i=0; i<200000; i++) {
         int len = 100 + (rand()&0x7f);
         if (i==5000) len = 60000;
         for (int j=0; j<len; j++) {
             printf("x");
         }
         printf("\n");
     }
}
