Subject: posn-at-x-y reports wrong window

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I received the bug report below for our visual-line-mode in Aquamacs  
Emacs, but I managed to reproduce the core issue on Emacs 23 (Nextstep  
port) as follows:

(fringe-mode 0)
C-x 3 C-x 2 C-x o C-x o
(we're now in the large window on the right, with two small windows in  
the left half of the frame).

Insert enough newlines to be vertically just above the horizontal  
divider on the left.

M-: (posn-at-x-y 0 (cdr (posn-x-y (posn-at-point)))) RET

Insert newline, now we're next to the divider line.

M-: (posn-at-x-y 0 (cdr (posn-x-y (posn-at-point)))) RET

--> wrong window (the window in the upper left) is given in the  
structure.
Instead of 0, the x value can be up to 6 ((frame-char-width) reports 7).

> THE BUG: in the right hand window, attempting to move the cursor (in
> column 1) through the row adjacent to the mode line of the upper left
> hand window moves the cursor to the upper left window. Also, placing
> the cursor in column 0 of that row then typing C-n or C-p gives the
> error "Position not in text area of window."

> Then C-p back past the divider. Cursor jumps to upper left window (1).

> Now click on the row in window 3 adjacent to the divider. Type C-n or
