Lines and columns

[Rob]

Exploring Leo in more detail I see an area below the mini-buffer displaying:

line: xx col: yy fcol: zz

Other than some reference to fcol being the column reference in an external file, I couldn't find any other reference in the online docs, tutorials or help files about this display area and what it might be useful for. Questions:

1. Lines seems obvious enough as they appear to correlate exactly to the line numbers displayed in the left gutter.
2. The columns number doesn't seem to make any sense as when I progress the cursor through a line, the col: yy number does not change as I would expect. It changes when I go to the next line, but not within a line.
3. Is there some additional documentation on this that I'm missing?

Just tried it and it appears that

col: nn

displays the columns present in the line, not the column position.

Thanks for this report.  I have just created #1056 for this.  I'll fix it before 5.8.1 beta 1.
