Hello! 

There was a bug that I encountered in a downstream Emacs package relating to setting line-move-visual to nil and running line-move when the package has created overlays on newlines.

The maintainer of the package has tracked down the bug to some incorrect behavior in the function move-to-column when overlays are present on newlines.

Here's a link to the issue that describes the issue with move-to-column:
https://github.com/jdtsmith/indent-bars/issues/22

Thoughts?

Thank you!
