I don't understand what you mean.

If there are the lines

1: a
2: ab

in a buffer and point is at the end of the first line, calling either
`next-line' without Scroll Lock mode or `scroll-lock-next-line' will
have the same result, namely that point will be between "a" and "b" in
the second line.  `next-line' does not move point to the end of the
second line as you seem to describe.  But maybe I misunderstood that.

If you send a bug report with a minimal example by means of `M-x
emacs-report-bug RET' people would have a chance to debug the problem
and eventually fix it.
