Subject: bug#18601: 24.3.94; set-fringe-mode with left fringe 0 breaks window width calculations on Mac OS
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 01:38:46 -0700

The Emacs pretest released earlier today has a window width
calculation bug on Mac OS X when the window left fringe is turned off.
This bug is not present in the previous Emacs pretest, version
24.3.93.

The outward symptoms of this bug are similar to those #16470, fixed in
January of this year. To reproduce, do the following:

1. Start Emacs 24.3.94 (with -Q to avoid loading initialization files).
2. Execute this Elisp: (set-fringe-mode '(0 . 2))
3. Execute M-x ansi-term and select /bin/zsh as your shell.
4. Run 'ls' or any other command in the shell. Notice the spurious %
characters printed everywhere. This is the bug.

Setting the fringe to '(1 . 2) makes the problem go away.

I'm wondering if this commit is related to this bug?
