  ** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
  considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
  examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
! text is inserted adjacent to them.  If text inserted at the beginning would
! inherit the invisible/intangible properties, then that position is
! considered unacceptable, and point is forced to the position following the
! invisible/intangible text.  If text inserted at the end would inherit the
! properties, then the opposite happens.
  
  Thus, point can only go to one end of an invisible, intangible region, but
  not the other one.  This prevents C-f and C-b from appearing to stand still
  on the screen.
  
  ** field-beginning and field-end now accept an additional optional
  argument, LIMIT.

  ** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
  considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
  examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
! text is inserted adjacent to them.  (The `front-sticky' and `rear-sticky'
! properties control this.)
! 
! If the invisible/intangible would be inherited by any text inserted
! before this region, then the position before it is considered
! unacceptable, and point is forced to continue (if moving forwards, to
! the position following the invisible/intangible text; if moving
! backwards, to one position before).  If the properties would be
! inherited by any text inserted after, then the position after is
! considered unacceptable, and point is forced to keep moving (if moving
! backwards, to the position preceding the invisible/intangible text; if
! moving forwards, to one position later).
  
  Thus, point can only go to one end of an invisible, intangible region, but
  not the other one.  This prevents C-f and C-b from appearing to stand still
  on the screen.
+ 
+ You should not set it up so that both the position before and the position
+ after are unacceptable.
