1) Type `M-x shell RET'
2) Type in a command (or any random junk) that wraps to the next
visible line
3) Type `C-p'. The point should now be at the beginning of the
prompt.
4) Type `C-e'. The point is now at the end of the prompt / beginning
of the command.
5) Type `C-e'. The point is now at the end of the visible line.
6) Type `C-e'. The point is now at the end of the actual line.
Behavior (5) above is unexpected.
It seems like a bug to me. C-e is not supposed to stop at the end
of the screen line.
Would someone please fix this, then ack?

This is a result of the fact that point started out from inside a
different field. The current behavior is prevents point from getting
stuck in some fairly complicated circumstances, and it will be
difficult to fix it for this case without causing subtle bugs.
I think we should leave it till after the release.
