I haven't thought about how to fix this, though.FWIW, I wouldn't touch this so close to the release: if no one noticed this since July 2005, it's hardly a grave bug.How do you know? This just looks so strange so it could well be a grave bug.Its only effect is that if a before-string spans multiple lines then the cursor ends up being displayed on the end of the first line. It does not have any further implications, such as crashing Emacs or corrupting data.
If that is the case then it is perhaps also easy and not dangerous to fix it?
As for whether or not to change the code, I guess it's up to KFS.
Yes, I looked at the code but decided it takes me too long time at the moment. Kim, is this easy for you?
