Re: default-indicate-buffer-boundaries

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Note that the indicate-buffer-boundaries glyph overrides the
    continuation glyph that would normally appear in the left margin.
    The right continuation glyph is still visible.  But do `M-0 C-l'
    and it is out of view, leaving no indication that this is a
    continuation line.

    Now do `M-x toggle-truncate-lines' (with point still at the end of the
    long line).  Now all indicate-buffer-boundaries glyphs are overridden
    by the truncation arrows.

These are pretty serious problems.

I am not willing to abandon such a nice feature without a fight!  We
do not need to fix this feature before the release, but does anyone
have an idea for how to fix it?

In the continuation case, we could solve the problem for the
end-of-buffer indicator by putting it on the right.  But that won't
help in the truncation case.
