| 1. With the cursor adjacent to the right of any bar,
| if you move forwards a line (^N), the cursor slips to column 0.
| 2. Moving backwards (^P) with the cursor in the same place, however,
| doesn't have this problem - it sticks near the boundary.
#1 is clearly a bug. C-n should be symmetrical with C-p.
| 3. Moving forwards or backwards with the cursor to the right of the
| boundary *not* adjacent does regular sticky-column behavior.
That is correct.
| 4. Forwards with the cursor on or to the bar's left leaves it in column 0.
That is a bug. It should be sticky except staying to the left of the bar.
| 5. Backwards in the same situation moves it to the right of the bar.
That is correct behavior.
6. ^A from anywhere beyond the immediate right of the boundary moves to
the immediate right, and subsequently advances to the far left.
That is correct behavior.
So it looks like C-p works but C-n doesn't.
Yidong, would you like to fix this, then ack?
