After spending another two days on this, I concluded that TRT is to remove that feature from Emacs 29.

Are you okay with that?

What exactly will that remove? only what's on the feature branch, or also some stuff on the emacs-29 branch?


The "locked narrowing" feature, IOW, the portions of editfns.c in which it is implemented, and its use around pre-command-hook, post-command-hook and fontification-functions.


And what are your reasons for removing this? It is hard to tell whether or not I agree without knowing to what I should agree ;-)


The reason is that I'm now convinced that it is not a good solution to the problem of ill-behaving modes in the presence of long lines.
