I just found the root cause.  I've used '(set-window-fringes nil 0 0)'
(from Doom as said by the original reporter) to hide fringe.  It doesn't
set 'left-fringe-width' and 'right-fringe-width', which are checked by
'window-max-chars-per-line'.  Setting these two variables to zero fixes
the bug.

Now I think this is a bug of _both_ Emacs and Doom.  Doom doesn't set
the variables, hence this bug report here; and Emacs doesn't check
'window-fringes'.

What do you think?
