Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix incorrect handling of overlays in `vertical-motion'
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2025 13:13:01 +0200

* src/indent.c (vertical-motion): If point is inside an overlay, reset
it to the beginning of line before trying to reach goal column. This
prevents point from being stuck at the beginning of overlay strings
during upward motions.
