	text operation; wrong in 23 but ok in 22.1
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:19:05 -0400

have "(setq automatic-hscroll-mode nil)" in .emacs file

edit wide output of file copied from /proc/interrupts
(machine has 12 cores)

place cursor at around column 12, then scroll out
to left view with "scroll-left" so ends-of-lines
appear in middle of windows, then from mapped
key issue "next-line" twice

first time it behaves correctly, second time
display scrolls horizontally so cursor is visible,
which it should not do

was upgrading from 20.5a to 23.3a when noticed
this; went back to 22.1 and it works ok
