Sorry, I don't understand.  What do you mean by "unaffected", and what
do you mean by "behave wrongly"?

All I was saying was that sometimes one sees L?? in the mode line
because the lines are too long, not because there are too many lines.
When the reason is the line length, you need to customize
line-number-display-limit-width, not line-number-display-limit.

How is this related to bookmarks?
