1. emacs -Q
2. Type C-x 3 to split the window horizontally, so that the text in
*scratch* is truncated.
3. Click on one of the arrows in the right finge.
=> The cursor jumps to the beginning of the line, instead of the display
being moved to the right, as it used to and as is documented in
(emacs)Fringes.  

Note that it is only clicking the arrow in the right fringe that fails:
clicking in the text area within hscroll-margin of the fringe does move
the display, and when there are arrows in the left margin, clicking
these moves the display to the left.

I don't know when this bug appeared, but I think it was within the past
month or so, maybe longer ago.
