It should IMHO work like in 0.6-- do we agree on that?

Only in the middle. It's the same point that the cursor color jumps to
another cell when you move the cursor.

I kludged it to work like that for now; good way to do it still sought for.

Yes.

Could well work, we'll see ;-) I'm not 100% sure it covers all cases,
but if any others turn up, we'll see what to do about that.
