I have just installed a patch which should improve on this behaviour.
Now the cursor is positioned nearer to the right margin when jumping to
the end of a long line (C-e), rather than centering the cursor as is
usually done when hscrolling.
Note that my fix only applies to the default hscroll settings; if you
have modified the hscroll parameters, your setting still apply.
