Yes, I see something like that as well.

No, the above still works as before.  The problem is in the new code
in Fwindow_text_pixel_size:

      x = min (move_it_to (&it, end, INT_MAX, max_y, -1,
                           MOVE_TO_POS | MOVE_TO_X | MOVE_TO_Y),
               max_x);

This will call move_it_to twice, and the second call will return a
different value from the correct one, returned by the first call.
Replace this by something less fancy, like

      x = move_it_to (&it, end, INT_MAX, max_y, -1,
                      MOVE_TO_POS | MOVE_TO_X | MOVE_TO_Y);
      if (x > max_x)
        x = max_x;

and Bob'll be your uncle.

(In general, I suggest to make a rule to never use 'min' or 'max' when
their arguments are expressions.)
