 rectangle-mark-mode resets fringe-mode settings

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

Sorry for the bad report.
Initially, there is the fringe area (shown in the attached file called "first-screenshot"). I can interactively execute the fringe-mode command it choose the 'minimal' option. It makes the fringe area to visually disappear and emacs adjusts the space between the fringe of the window and line numbers accordingly (shown in the second-screenshot). Then i use the rectangle-mark-mode command and doing so returns the space that was previously taken by the fringe area back (shown in the third-screenshot). Yes, the added space doesn't use any highlighting, so you can't verify it by looking at the highlighting for the fringe-area, my description was confusing on that part.
