Ok, I kind of expected that.

Good.

Ok, thanks much so far.

The problem described by me (from the screenshot) is however not
completely fixed (recipe follows).

What I originally posted seems to happen with any text, it is more
likely to happen when you use positive text-scale-mode, and it still
happens.

If you want a precise recipe (though it's just a random example): emacs
-Q, C-h C-a, click on the first link (named "Gnu Emacs") with mouse-2.
In line 135, the last char is truncated.

If you hit C-x C-+, you will find more and more partly visible chars the
more you scale up.

Using `end-of-visual-line' seemed to fix this, but we can't use it.
Is `window-text-pixel-size' useful?


Thanks,

Michael.
