1. Start Emacs using 'emacs -Q --no-window-system'.

2. Reduce the window width until the lines in the scratch buffer wrap
around. Notice that Emacs shows a '\' at the end of each wrapped line.

3. Type M-x toggle-word-wrap. Emacs no longer shows a '\' to indicate
continuation lines. There is no way to tell whether the line contains a
newline, or whether it has been wrapped.

Notice that if you do the same in graphical Emacs (i.e. start with
'emacs -Q'), the fringes do show an indicator for continuation lines,
even with word wrapping enabled.

This is no critical bug, however, the behavior is inconsistent and not
user friendly. The following post shows, that it has also confused other
users who noticed the inconsistency:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12989072/showing-continuation-lines-in-emacs-in-a-text-terminal

If you think, this should not be a bug report and can point me to a
better place to discuss the issue, I will be happy to do so.

Best regards,
Luis
