Sanity checks:
1. Type a command that prompts in the minibuffer and includes text that
ends before window-width, resulting e.g. in this in the minibuffer:
Find file: ~/src/emacs/emacs-master/INSTALL
2. Typing C-a moves point to the beginning of the file name and then
typing C-e moves point to the end of the file name.
3. Typing M-< moves point to the beginning of the prompt and then typing
C-e moves point to the end of the file name.
Change the input:
4. Now type a command that includes text that extends beyond
window-width, resulting e.g. in this in the minibuffer:
Find file:
~/src/emacs/emacs-master/java/org/gnu/emacs/EmacsLauncherPreferencesActivity.java
5. Typing C-a moves point to the beginning of the file name and then
typing C-e moves point to the end of the file name (same as step 2).
Here's the surprising behavior:
6. Typing M-< moves point to the beginning of the prompt but now typing
C-e fails to move point. And if you move point to any position
within the prompt, e.g. M-f to put point after "Find", then typing
C-e moves point to the beginning of the prompt.
It certainly seems like a bug that C-e, i.e. move-end-of-line, fails to
move to the end of the line in step 6, and the inconsistency between the
results in step 3 and step 6 also seems like a bug. The attached patch
ensures that C-e in step 6 moves to the end of the file name, as in step
2, and should only affect the use of C-e in the minibuffer.
