I kept this setting in ~/.emacs, and now noticed it not working
in another specific case:

0. emacs -Q
1. (progn
     (setq visual-order-cursor-movement t)
     (toggle-truncate-lines))
2. Insert a long line of e.g. (foobar) (foobar) (foobar) ...
3. Then try to adjust the window size to put the right window edge
   on the closing paren of one of these repeated strings (you may need
   to try different window widths before you could reproduce the bug)
4. Then put the cursor on the beginning of the test line
5. Now define and repeat the macro consisting of two keys:
   <C-M-right> (forward-sexp) and <right> (right-char)
6. When after repeating the macro with <C-x e> the cursor reaches
   the right window edge, then the cursor jumps to the second next line
   instead of doing the horizontal scrolling.

If it's difficult to reproduce this problem, this screenshot
might help you to see the window configuration where starting
to repeat the macro 9 times from the beginning of the foobars line
jumps to the line with the text “Macro:”
