In shell mode, with variable comint-scroll-show-maximum-output set to
nil, output with lines longer than the screen can cause the cursor to
be left behind instead of tracking the end of the output. To reproduce:
Start emacs with emacs -Q
M-x shell
M-x set-variable
comint-scroll-show-maximum-output
nil
(Run csh if that isn't your usual shell)
repeat 10000 echo -n x ; echo
The cursor is now in the middle of the long line instead of on the next
line where it belongs.

reassign 1517 emacs22

Whilst I see this in Emacs 22, it seems to be fixed in the CVS trunk.
