23.1; Unexpected cursor motion in horizontally scrolled lines |

To reproduce:
emacs -Q
M-<
C-x 3
C-x <
(answer y to the query whether to enable the command)
C-x <
Now try C-f and C-b several times and observe the strange effects.
After a while, it becomes apparent that point is actually outside the
visible portion of display, and is being moved by C-f and C-b, but the
cursor stays put in the visible portion and does not show any
movement, except when point enters a different line.
Is that the correct behavior? Isn't point supposed to be visible at
all times? If this is the correct behavior, it should at least be
documented.

Since no one seems to be interested in fixing this, I fixed it myself:
2009-10-04 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* display.texi (Horizontal Scrolling): Document cursor behavior under
horizontal scrolling when point moves off the screen (Bug#4564).
Improve wording.
I still think it's a bad misfeature that the cursor get frozen on the
window edge. It would be better to turn it off, if the terminal
supports that, like we do when auto-hscroll-mode is turned OFF. In
particular, when text is hscrolled left and auto-hscroll-mode is OFF,
we have two different behaviors for when point leaves the displayed
portion of the text: one behavior when point moves off the left edge,
the other when it moves off the right edge.
