Subject: 24.0.94; Cursor gets "stuck" on an indented line with wrapped overlay
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:47:05 +0200

Put the following (including comments) in a buffer and evaluate.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Note that the next line is indented
 ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

;; evaluate this
(let ((ov (make-overlay
	   (progn (goto-char (point-min))
		  (forward-line)
		  (back-to-indentation)
		  (point))
	   (progn (end-of-line)
		  (point))
	   nil t nil)))
 (overlay-put ov 'display
	       (make-string 500 ?b)))

#+end_src

Now run `previous-line' several times and it will get stuck at the
indentation of the bbbbb line.  If you have an extremely wide screen you
may need to shrink the emacs window so that the bbbb line wraps.  Also
note that running `previous-line' with a large prefix-argument will
move past the line, and once it is stuck, running with a prefix-argument of 2 or
greater will allow you to move past.

FWIW, I ran into this while writing a LaTeX file with preview-mode and a
large equation that wrapped on my screen.

This does not seem to be a problem in Emacs 22.1.1 in a terminal which
is the only other emacs I have easy access to.

Thanks,
Ivan
