If that's in a continuation line, you have the same problem: the
display engine and the move_it_* functions count coordinates and
columns from their BOL, not from your "actual" BOLs.

No, because I don't know how much I need to just see the problems,
without the solutions.  At some point I will probably ask you for a
minimal patch an a recipe to see the problem, unless we will find a
solution by just talking.
