bug#40563: 28.0.50; Narrow to defun in python buffer

[Tomas Nordin]

Hello Buglist

emacs Q

Find file class.py with this content

----------------------------------8<----------------------------------
"""Try narrow to defun on class"""


class A():

    def a1(self):
        pass

    def a2(self):
        pass


class B():

    def b1(self):
        pass

    def b2(self):
        pass
---------------------------------->8----------------------------------

Move point to bol on class A
C-x n d

result:
----------------------------------8<----------------------------------
lass A():

    def a1(self):
        pass

    def a2(self):
        pass
---------------------------------->8----------------------------------

notice the 'c' is gone

C-x n w

Move point to bol on class B

C-x n d

result:
----------------------------------8<----------------------------------
    def b2(self):
        pass
---------------------------------->8----------------------------------

I then noticed that placing point just below the class definition and
then narrow works as expected. But I think the recipe way should work as
well. And even if not, this behavior is confusing.

Best regards
