Sorry, but this is not helpful.  Column 61 and column 47 don't say
anything to me, unless you show a precise recipe, starting with
"emacs -Q", that would explain what you expect Emacs to do.

This is either due to a bug or to some customization (most probably
the latter).  Again, please give a recipe to reproduce such a
behavior.  It should never happen, and has nothing to do with
visual-line-mode.
