bug#29002: it.first_visible_x is erroneously 0 while horizontal scrolling.

[Keith David Bershatsky <esq@lawlist.com>]

Thank you, Eli, for looking at #29002.

In the screen-shot, line 4 is the current-line and it is hscrolled.

• hscrolling_current_line_p is true.

• w->suspend_auto_hscroll is false.

• w->hscroll > 0.

• All non-current lines are also hscrolled.

• it.first_visible_x == 0.

What would be a good method to programmatically test to see whether all other lines are hscrolled given the above?

As I visit each screen line from top to bottom of the window, I will need to determine whether the line is hscrolled and then try make my way over to a screen relative X coordinate.  move_it_in_display_line_to will need an absolute X.

For example, let's say we are on line 6 in the screen-shot.  How do we know that it is hscrolled?  If we know for sure it is hscrolled, then we can tell move_it_in_display_line_to try and reach (w->hscroll * FRAME_COLUMN_WIDTH (f)) + my_arbitrary_screen_relative_x.
