On a long line, the up/down arrows should go to the next buffer line.  In this version of emacs, it goes up/down to the next screen line instead.  If this was not a bug, there should be an option to disable this feature.

Please read the NEWS.  It should answer both questions.

There _is_ such an option, and it's right there in NEWS:

    ** The C-n and C-p line-motion commands now move by screen lines,
    taking continued lines and variable-width characters into account.
    Setting `line-move-visual' to nil reverts this to the previous
    behavior (motion by logical lines based on buffer contents alone).
