Please show a complete recipe, starting from "emacs -Q" (and loading
any optional packages/customizations as needed).  It's hard to discuss
an issue without being able to test-drive it.

I'm not sure I understood, but if I did, this is a feature: functions
such as beginning-of-line stop moving at field boundaries.

Once again, if you show an actual example, it will be much easier to
decide whether there's a bug here, and if so, what is it.

Thanks.
