bug#56682: locked narrowing

After looking at this closely, it turns out that the change in 1c837c42c2 doesn't do what it was meant to do. Sigh... Dmitry, can you confirm that the following change fixes this?

??? You are reverting what I believe was a fix for bug#57207, right?


No, I'm not reverting, I'm fixing. The condition before 1c837c42c2 was "MODIFF - UNCHANGED_MODIFIED > 8", with 1c837c42c2 it became "CHARS_MODIFF - CHARS_UNCHANGED_MODIFIED > 8", which appeared correct at that time but is not, with the patch it becomes "CHARS_MODIFF - UNCHANGED_MODIFIED > 8".


How did you reach the conclusion that the change doesn't do what it was supposed to? please tell more about what you saw and your conclusions.


The first condition triggered the long line detection too much: it was triggered when the the only changes in the buffer were fontification changes. The second condition fixes that problem, but still triggers the long line detection too much: it is still triggered when the main (but not _only_) changes in the buffer are fontification changes, IOW, it is triggered even if a single character is inserted and "enough" fontification changes are made. The condition in the patch is correct: the long line detection mechanism is triggered only when many characters are inserted.
