Subject: 23.0.94; When no fringe, line truncation should use $
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:34:58 -0700

When a user does not show the fringe, there is no feedback about line
truncation. When the fringe indicator was introduced, we should have
provided the original $ indicator as a fallback behavior, for use when
no fringe is displayed. 
 
Indicating line truncation should not be dependent on fringe
display. Fringe display of truncation should be a nice-to-have, not
something that removes all indication when no fringe is displayed.
