Subject: 25.2; visual-line-mode freezes Emacs, unresponsive to C-g
Date: Mon, 07 May 2018 07:58:32 -0700 (PDT)

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

To reproduce the problem:
 * emacs -Q
 * visit the attached text (file long-visual-line-repro.el) in a buffer
 * M-x eval-buffer
 * C-n through the buffer until Emacs freezes, on the long "xxx...xxx" 
line

Emacs freezes, uses 100% of CPU, and is unresponsive to C-g keystrokes.

From cursory experimentation, the problem seems to occur when both the
wrap-prefix, and a single word, are longer than the Emacs window is wide.

This bug freezes my Emacs frequently.

Thanks, this is bug#30432, most of which is fixed in Emacs 26.1, and
the rest is fixed on the master branch.
