It's a good idea to browse the NEWS file when you upgrade to a new
version of Emacs. C-h n.

Specifically:
* Editing Changes in Emacs 23.1
** The C-n and C-p line-motion commands now move by screen lines,
taking continued lines and variable-width characters into account.
Setting `line-move-visual' to nil reverts this to the previous
behavior (i.e., motion by logical lines based on buffer contents
alone).

Yes. No. Yes. No.
