I usually run (Gosling's) emacs with wrap-long-lines turned on (I like
to see all my text).  The problem is that if you have a wrapped line
visible, it takes up more than one line on the screen, but is only one
line in the buffer.  Since the various window manipulation functions
(next-page, etc.) count buffer lines to do their thing, this is quite
annoying.  I just tonight discovered that (dot-is-visible) can return
the wrong answer if there are wrapped lines in the window.  So, has
anybody fixed this problem (of correspondence between screen and buffer
lines)?  Has anybody even thought about how to fix it?  I'd like to see
(at best) a fix, or (at least) some discussion of this.
