[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Step 1.  Build a new Emacs (master branch) with the function bug-christmas-ghost (below).  [E.g., place the new function somewhere appropriate inside of xdisp.c.]

Step 2.  Launch the newly built Emacs from the terminal so that we can see the STDERR output.

Step 3.  Paste the following Lisp code into a scratch buffer and evaluate the code.

    (setq display-line-numbers t)
    (setq buffer-display-table (make-display-table))
    (aset buffer-display-table
          ?\t
          (vector (make-glyph-code ?\u00BB 'font-lock-warning-face)
                  (make-glyph-code ?\t 'highlight)))
    (setq tab-width 8)

Step 4.  On a new line in the scratch buffer type:  C-q TAB Hello

Step 5.  Place the cursor somewhere on the word "Hello".

Step 6.  Evaluate:  (scroll-left 2)

Step 7.  Evaluate:  (bug-christmas-ghost)


OBSERVATIONS:

A.  When w->hscroll is >= 2 and IT is within the tab STRETCH, move_it_in_display_line_to reports an erroneous it.hpos subsequent to the line numbers.  In this example, it.hpos is reported as being either 0 or 5, even though the tab STRETCH visibly begins at an it.hpos of 4 when line numbers are 2 digits wide.

B.  When w->hscroll is >= 2 and IT is within the tab STRETCH, the latter portion contains one or more it.c ghosts of Christmas future.  I.e., the letter "H" gets returned at several locations along the tab STRETCH.


EXPECTATIONS / DESIRED BEHAVIOR.

i.  Loops 7 to 12 should report an it.hpos of 4.

ii.  Loops 7 to 12 should report an it.c of 9 (aka a tab character).


Here is an excerpt from the STDERR output after calling (scroll-left 2) and moving IT by X -- incrementing each loop by font->space_width.
