Yes, in r117500.  That was one part of fixing display of truncated R2L
lines in the many use cases you presented.

Btw, a simple way to avoid this side effect is to have a 1-pixel left
fringe, i.e. "pay" 1 pixel.  That's not a high cost, IMO, if the
motivation for removing the left fringe is to have 1 more column
available for the same frame size.
