I have found that with word-wrap enabled, at some point in the buffer of a wrapped text setting point by clicking mouse-1 fails, with the result that point is set not where I click but at the same column exactly one visible line below (i.e., also within a wrapped line). I haven't managed to find a general recipe for reproducing this, but I do have a sample file which shows the problem. Start Emacs with -Q, visit the attached file and set word-wrap to t. I can set point by clicking mouse-1 on any position in the buffer -- until the first `x' after the line wrapping in the line that begins with `13.30': clicking mouse-1 on this position set points on the space immediately below. Likewise for every position following this one, till the end of the text. Now scroll the text up one line at a time, until the line beginning with `15.05' is at the top of the window. Now setting point by clicking mouse-1 works again as expected. But scrolling down one line, so that the line beginning with `13.30' is at the top of the window, restores the previous aberrant behavior. A probably related observation is the following. If I click mouse-1 in the space between the last character of a wrapped line and the right fringe, starting on the second space after the last character, then point gets set on the subsequent wrapped portion, and advancing the clicked position towards the fringe advances the cursor display on the wrapped portion. If I click on the right fringe, then point gets set (back) to the first character after the wrapping. But this behavior changes at the line that begins with `13.30': clicking in the spaces has the effect described, but clicking on the right fringe does not reset point. But in the line beginning with `20.00', clicking in the space before the first wrapped portion advances the cursor in the second wrapped portion below it, and clicking in the right fringe before the first wrapped portion does reset point to the beginning of the second wrapped portion.
