Starting from Emacs -Q, create a buffer with the following contents.
Notice that the first two (2) lines are blank, and the next is one long
line (in case it gets broken by email)
#### buffer start:
;; I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess. I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess. I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess. I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess. I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess. I think this needs to be really long here. Why? I don't really know, but a guess.
(let ((ov (make-overlay 3 515)))
(overlay-put ov 'display "hi\n"))
(line-move-visual -5)
1. Make sure the window is skinny enough that the comment line wraps.
2. Evaluate the first form, creating an overlay.
3. Evaluate the second form. It is important that point be at the end
of the "line-move-visual" line.
4. You get a warning about beginning-of-buffer, when it clearly did not
reach the beginning-of-buffer.
As near as I can tell, the incorrect error message is because it doesn’t
move as far at it thinks it should (the real bug), and it assumes the
reason it didn't is because it made it to the beginning (or end) of the
buffer.
