I don't have any pre-20 emacs here to confirm, but my recollection is that the old behavior was to actually reserve the final column on the line for the line truncation/wrapping indicator -- i.e., there _was_ a kind of fringe before, but only on the right side. So to emulate the old-style behavior in the current emacs, you could set the fringe-style to `right-only' (and if seeing the non-indicator fringe annoys you, remove the background color attribute from the `fringe' face). -Miles -- Insurrection, n.
