Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot about that one, my bad.  You are right, my first
test case is indeed fixed by your patch.

Just my actual problem is not, including the last script-based test case
I made.  (Which I was working on the whole evening yesterday :-()

Fact is that vertical-motion is called in the course of determining the
break (I think as part of "go to the column where it wants to wrap") and
that my actual problems and the script test case seem to be solved by
setting truncate-lines to nil.

We have two different bugs here, because my first test case is *not*
fixed just by setting truncate-lines to nil.

Here I was talking about the script test case I sent, not the first test
case, which I had entirely forgotten about.

Again, I am sorry for the confusion.
