[O] Bug: linum-mode + org-indent-mode cursor movement problems [8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ /usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp/org/)]

[Tom Schutter]

If both linum-mode (or nlinum-mode) and org-indent-mode are enabled, 
then moving the cursor to the previous line using <up> causes it to jump 
horizontally to the right.  The jump matches the current indentation.  I 
would expect the cursor to remain in the same column.

Load linum.org (contents below) with minimal config.  linum.org will 
enable linum-mode and org-indent-mode:

  emacs -Q linum.org

Place your cursor on the "2" in the fourth line and press <up>.  The 
cursor will jump two columns to the right to the "4" in the third line. 
Press <up> again and the cursor will move to the "4" in the second line. 
 Press <up> again and the cursor will jump back to the "e" in the first 
line.

What is interesting is that you get different behavior when using 
<down>.  The cursor remains in the same column as you move down each 
line.  So starting on the "e" in the first line, pressing <down> moves 
the cursor to the "2" on the second line.

If you insert a second level heading in between the first and the second 
line, then the jumps will be four columns instead of two.

I discovered this problem first in nlimum-mode, but it is easier to 
reproduce using linum-mode when starting Emacs with -Q.
