Let’s consider a buffer consists of very long lines and an empty line.
Point starts from A with auto-hscroll-mode t.

0000..0000 A
0000..0000 I
C          B
D 00..0000 Z

Point reaches to B by scroll up and as soon as auto-hscroll-mode
is set to t, scope will be shifted to point C. Another scrolling
up moves point to D instead of Z.

To visit point Z, timer is required. A minor-mode serves as a long timer.
