I've attached a screenshot from the movie. It looks like there's some
custom modeline stuff going on that draws the line-number at the
extreme left. If the number gets large enough it overflows into the
fringe where it's then left because that particular part rarely gets
redrawn.

It looks to me like there are two problems:

 1. Whatever is writing the number shouldn't be trying to draw that
    far left.

 2. That part of the screen shouldn't be writable. I recently fixed a
    problem with the cursor intruding into the fringe. I expect this
    is similar.

I'll have a look into number 2, but I don't know where to start with
number 1.
