bug#25181: 25.1.90; move-beginning-of-line doesn't move point

[Andreas Röhler]

Bug does not appear with Emacs -Q, as some fontification in buffer seems 
to trigger it.

Text in buffer:

git reset HEAD test/2.sh

Cursor at pos 16. i.e. beginning of word "test".

C-a doesn't move point.


Watching move-beginning-of-line edebug, at line 6415

    (skip-chars-backward "^\n")

jumps correctly to BOL.

Error results from following later on:

    (setq first-vis-field-value
      (constrain-to-field first-vis orig (/= arg 1) t nil))

Here first-vis-field-value is set to orig, i.e. pos 16, where it jumps 
back-to, not leaving point at BOL.

When C-a is called at or from behind word "test", it stops at pos 16, 
when called before it reaches BOL
