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

Emacs version: 26.2
Steps to reproduce:
emacs -Q
Activate display-line-numbers-mode
Insert some word at the first line, like "aaa"
Execute (nth 2 (posn-at-point 2)), it will return (40 . 0)
Execute (put-text-property 2 3 'display "A")
Execute (nth 2 (posn-at-point 2)) again, it will return (4 . 0)

This breaks next-line/previous-line in cases display property is used. For
example, highlight-indent-guides mode uses display property to draw
indentation levels.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Thanks! Is it going to be backported to 26 branch?

I'm not sure, the change is in a tricky place, and the problem existed
for long enough to consider it rare.  On top of that, we didn't yet
decide whether there will be Emacs 26.3; if not, the emacs-26 branch
is of no practical importance.

I take it that you tested the change?  If so, I'm closing the bug
report.
