Hi! The cursor leaves garbage in the fringe column. Steps to repeat: Emacs -Q (setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil) C-j C-x 3 C-x 3 C-x o C-u 15 x C-p Here, the cursor have left a one-pixel bar in the fringe area. In other scenarios I have seen the cursor leave two or three pixels wide garbage. (I use six columns and a 6x8 font.) I use OS X 10.9. I have noticed that when splitting two windows horizontally, the width of the fringes + scroll bar between the two windows don't add up to full characters. Instead, they are five characters and one pixel. My theory is that this extra pixel pushes the cursor into the fringe to the right. If possible, I would like to see the pixel width of fringes + scroll bar to be a multiple of the width of the font used in the frame, since it is much more convenient for elisp packages that make layout decisions. (As I mentioned above, now they are 5 characters and one pixel. In 24.3 they were exactly six characters wide.)
