we agree on every behavior except for one, and that disagreement may
be due to a misunderstanding.

#1 is clearly a bug. C-n should be symmetrical with C-p.

That is correct.
| 4. Forwards with the cursor on or to the bar's left leaves it in column
0.
That is a bug. It should be sticky except staying to the left of the bar.
| 5. Backwards in the same situation moves it to the right of the bar.
That is correct behavior.
that is not the behavior i need, and don't see why it is desirable -
particularly since it's the opposite of the behavior you agreed to
when advancing - ie, #4, just above.
by #5, i am saying that when the cursor is between the left margin and
the bar (so the cursor is within the characters with the 'field
'boundary text property), moving back a line moves the cursor to the
*right* side of the bar, outside of the 'field 'boundary characters.
i don't want the system moving the cursor out of the field type i
started from. you agreed that it shouldn't do so when moving forwards
(#4), do you really mean that it should do so when moving backwards?
6. ^A from anywhere beyond the immediate right of the boundary moves to
the immediate right, and subsequently advances to the far left.
That is correct behavior.
So it looks like C-p works but C-n doesn't.
C-p mostly works, except for #5. it may be that #5 is deliberate and
suitable for some situations, but it's "helping" me in a way that's
counterproductive for my purposes.
Yidong, would you like to fix this, then ack?
