[Bug-AUCTeX] previewing a picture that is wider than the frame

[Andreas Matthias]

I have a problem with previewing a picture that is /wider/
than my frame. Here is an example:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
beginning

\begin{figure}
  \rule{300mm}{10mm}
\end{figure}

ending
\end{document}

Now put the point on `ending' and try to reach `beginning' with C-p.
It doesn't work for me. I cannot get beyond the picture. It is
possible to go top-down (from `beginning' to `ending' with C-n)
but not bottom-up (from `ending' to `beginning' with C-p).

It's curious. I only notice this problem by fiddling around with
this example. In my original document I /can/ pass the picture
with C-p and C-n but I /cannot/ put the point below the picture
with a mouse-click, which is working in this example.

This is not a joke!

Can someone reproduce this behaviour?
