I want also to fix the problem where the vertical border steals
1 pixel from the text area of the right window.  This makes some
letters indistinguishable.  The patch below draws the vertical border
1 pixel left when there are no scroll bars and no left fringes.
These screenshots demonstrate how the vertical border looks
before and after applying the patch:
