Subject: bug#20701: 25.0.50; [PATCH] (vertical-motion 0) broken at display strings after newline

From: Wolfgang Jenkner <[email-masked]>

If you run the following snippet in emacs -Q point will end up at the
first line of the "Test" buffer, but it should stay at the second line.

(with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "Test")
  (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))
  (insert "x\n")
  (save-excursion
    (insert (propertize "x" 'display "x")))
  (sit-for 1)
  (vertical-motion 0))

On the other hand, non-zero arguments for vertical-motion seem to work
correctly, as long as the buffer contains only ASCII characters before
the propertized "x".

Otherwise

(with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "Test")
  (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))
  (insert "\né\n")
  (save-excursion
    (insert (propertize "x" 'display "x")))
  (sit-for 1)
  (vertical-motion -1))

Here, point should go to the second line but it goes to the first line.

The following patch tries to fix both issues.

Subject: [PATCH] * src/indent.c (Fvertical_motion): Fix a case of motion by 0
 lines.

Starting from a display string after a newline, point went to the
previous line.

Also, correct an inadvertent use of a buffer position with FETCH_BYTE.
