Hello,

With very looong lines, `C-e' goes some further away (to the right), but not
up to the end of the line. I have to press `C-e' many more times to be at the
real physical end of the line.

I have the impression this is quite new (Emacs 23.X) -- is there a way to
change that so that `C-e' directly jumps the farest to the right?

Best regards,
Seb

Check the modes valid in the buffer at that time!

What do you mean? That it's related to some major mode I'm in[1]?

Best regards,
Seb

[1] I'd say the major modes I'm in the most frequently are Org and Message.

can't see that with recent Emacs24

Call M-x describe-mode and look if some minor-mode from ancient times interferes
Start from emacs -Q and look if it happens too

No, it can also be some minor-mode… Visual-line-mode can have that effect, GNU Emacs can (could) also fail when between the normal characters some wide ones are found.

It's also good to find a recipe how to repeat that effect in another buffer or GNU Emacs instance, best one that was launched with -Q.

This is indeed only occurring in Org buffers, and I just see that `C-e' is
mapped to `org-end-of-line'... which does NOT behave as `end-of-line'.
