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

Hi!

I work in terminal on Ubuntu 15.04 (xterm, GNOME terminal) with very big
text files, very long lines and warping (via global-visual-line). I want to
scroll by one line, so i set scroll-conservatively to
most-positive-fixnum. When i read text and scroll down everything is fine,
but when i want to return back and scroll up *over warped lines*, cursor
jumps on the second line from the top of window. According to manual, faq,
wiki and google i try to play with other scroll-related settings, such as
margin, aggressiveness, step, but with no result. Cursor still jump by two
lines when moving up. Looks like a bug. In GUI version everything is good
and scrolls by one line. This bug is only in terminals. Confirm with 24.4.1
and 24.5.

Please show a sample file and the exact sequence of commands, starting
from "emacs -Q", for reproducing this problem.

Thanks.

Thanks.  This bug is now fixed in the development sources with the
simple change below (which you could probably easily apply to 24.5 or
previous versions, as that code was in Emacs since Mar 2002).
