Is there some reason we would _want_ to design the right column so it behaves differently from other columns? Is that a feature that you find useful? If there were a special cost to doing that, would you go to the trouble to add that to the design? Which "feature" is more useful? The one you can't see yourself wanting or the one I proposed: nothing special about the right column? Other things being equal (and they may not be - please explain), why wouldn't we want the columns treated the same? > Generally speaking, if a buffer extends beyond the window to the right, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > I just never see that text, which in some sense is the same as if the > column had been narrowed.

Fair enough. Is that your solution: resize the window (or perhaps the frame, if one-window) instead of just the right column? Sure, that's one workaround. Or maybe you'll push the frame off the right side of your screen, to, in effect, truncate the right column. That's another. But if you have a feature that automatically fits windows or frames to buffer content... (My case.) Is this the end of the world? No. I consider it a minor bug. You have a right to consider it a feature or not a bug at all.
