Bug: End of line in summary buffer

Bug: End of line in summary buffer

[Slawek Zak]

Going to the end of line in summary mode with C-e, when subject
exceeds right margin doesn't work properly, the cursor stops on the
right margin when there are three dots marking begining of thread at
the end. When message is single, C-e goes to the end of subject as
expected. gnus-summary-line-format is "%U%R %3V%z %3L: %I%[%-16,16n%]
%d %3t %(%s%) \n"

This isn't a bug in gnus, it is a feature of emacs.  You have to use
`C-x <' if you want to scroll the window left.

Alternatively, you can add the following to your .emacs to have things
work intuitively:

;;; auto-show
(require 'auto-show)

Actually, these answers are correct for Emacs.  I see you use Xemacs.
I don't know whether this will work there.

But I wrote, that it works fine for lines longer than width of my
screen, but only if they don't end with  '...', ie don't start new
thread. Does it work for you in Emacs ?

Doesn't help either.

How odd.  It feels like a bug in selective-display.

Anyway, `C-l' will recenter properly even with the ellipsis there.
