Subject: bug#64988: 30.0.50; move-to-column can move across lines if there is a text with display property
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 12:53:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5fc075c6-c94b-eacf-6bbd-7d337caa2ee7@gmail.com> (raw)
If there is a text with display property in a buffer, then
move-to-column can move across lines.
Repro:
* emacs -Q
* in the scratch buffer, move the cursor to the top, and put an empty
line at the beginning of the buffer
* execute 'M-: (put-text-property 1 2 'display "line\n")' (note: it's
likely that the "\n" causes the problem)
* notice that the empty line becomes "line"
* while the cursor still on the first line, execute 'M-: (move-to-column
20)'
The last command will move the cursor to the next line at column 16,
instead of staying at the first line.
Note: I noticed this problem while using this package:
https://github.com/jdtsmith/indent-bars.
The problem doesn't happen with emacs 28, this is the commit that
introduced the issue:

presence of display strings
