bug#14780: Regression: C-n doesn't go to next line under simple circumstances

[Barry OReilly]

Let cant-next-line.el have file contents:

  (tool-bar-mode 0)
  (global-whitespace-mode 1)
  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 80)
  (setq scroll-margin 4)
  (setq scroll-conservatively 101)

Open up the attached cant-next-line.txt by:

  emacs -Q --load cant-next-line.el cant-next-line.txt

Move point to be immediately before the 'h' of "here". Try to reach the '-' character at the end of the file using C-n. You can't. If I move point to the beginning of line containing "here", then I can.

I checked emacs-24.3 and could not reproduce this, so it is a regression.

I witnessed this with latest trunk 68068a328a854998a0071f4714cbacdfed36fcc1 and for commit 20899d085afe62520113b5acbfe3dbba57823dc9 (Jun 5) which I use day to day (because the commit immediately following broke Evil in a critical way).
