Whereas the patches relating to #16856 reduce the width of the cursor so that it does not overflow into the fringe (creating unwanted artifacts), there was nothing done to permit a fringe bitmap to be placed there instead. I had not given any consideration to the possibility that a partial width cursor is "a feature". I.e., I erroneously assumed that a partial width cursor was merely an attempt to avoid unwanted artifacts being drawn on the fringe. I personally like to see fringe bitmaps when points is slightly less than the exact widow width; however, I am uncertain how to reconcile that proposed feature with the desire by others to see a partial width cursor without a fringe bitmap. If the consensus is that a user who has a window-width that is not an integral multiple of frame's character width must give up the ability to see a fringe bitmap, then that resolves #29233. If the consensus is that a user does not have to give up seeing a fringe bitmap in the above-mentioned circumstance, the question is when will the fringe bitmap be seen and what modification would be appropriate in that circumstance.
