Second problem.  After the above, set the mark (M-A), then press
and hold <Ctrl+Right>.  See how nothing in the second chunk gets
highlighted.  A fix is probably something like this fragment:

            /* Compute on which screen column to start painting. */
            start_col = strnlenpt(fileptr->data, top_x) - from_col;
 
+           if (start_col < 0)
+               start_col = 0;
+

from my "shrink the screen by one column" patch posted on
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49440.
