When a segment of text is extracted, copy any anchors that it has
into the cutbuffer, so that they get saved in the undo item, so that
an undo will put these anchors back on the lines where they were,
instead of leaving an inherited anchor at the top of the segment.
And when text is pasted, clear any anchors in it, so that they will
not travel nor multiply.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61162.
Bug existed since version 5.0, since anchors were introduced.
Whenever softwrap was toggled on or line numbers were toggled on/off or
the window was resized, the extra rows per line needed to be recomputed
for ALL the lines. For large files with many long lines this was too
costly.
(This change causes the indicator to have an incorrect size when there
are many softwrapped chunks onscreen, but that will be addressed later.)
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60429.
Problem existed since version 5.0, since the indicator was introduced.
When a large piece of text or code is pasted or inserted, it could
contain matches for start= and end= regexes, and backtracking from
the current screen could mistake an end for a start and could thus
miscolor things. Avoid this by recalculating the multiline cache
for pastes and insertions that cover more than a screenful.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59982.
Bug existed since version 2.6.0, but existed also before 2.4.3.
Remarks are about unsurprising things but it's good to give feedback
on them; "mistakes" are unexpected things, and get colored like an
error; and information is something that the user requested and thus
needs to stay on the status bar until the next keystroke.
This makes the cursor move smoothly left and right -- instead of
"stuttering" when passing over a zero-width character.
Pressing <Delete> on a normal (spacing) character also deletes
any zero-width characters after it. But pressing <Backspace>
while the cursor is placed after a zero-width character, just
deletes that zero-width character. The latter behavior allows
deleting and retyping just the combining diacritic of a character
instead of the whole character.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50773.

Typing ^H (by default equivalent to Backspace) at the start of the file
is not useful. When it happens, assume that the user is new and tried
to ask for Help. So... explain what the caret and the "M-" in the help
lines mean.
Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly. And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

And when the margin changes (when line numbers are switched on or off,
or when the buffer grows or shrinks), and when a piece of text from a
different buffer with a different margin is pasted.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58517.
Bug existed since commit 9a9f36fc from yesterday.
Instead of storing for each line the ordinal number of the first chunk
in that line, simply store the number of extra chunks in the line.
It now takes some more computation to actually draw the scrollbar, but
it saves a lot of computation when just inserting or deleting characters
(when using --softwrap and causing a change in chunk count).
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58510.
Bug existed since commit 6bccedb3 from two days ago.
A new member ('chunk_nr') is added to each 'linestruct', to store
the serial number of the first chunk of that line, so that, when
softwrap is on, the scroll-bar thing can be computed relative to
chunks instead of relative to actual lines.
To guarantee that 'chunk_nr' is correctly synced, the buffer is
renumbered whenever the number of chunks in a line changes, and
also when softwrap is toggled on, and when buffers are switched.

Instead of creating a special Tools menu, add the five functions that
affect the whole buffer to the "Execute Command" menu. There is room
for these five functions there, and they kind of fit in because three
of them (Speller, Linter, and Formatter) actually invoke an external
command, and Full Justify could have been implemented externally, and
the destructive Cut Till End ought to have required a double keystroke
since the beginning.
When two lines are joined, 'refresh_needed' is already set to TRUE,
so only when a midline character is deleted the check for a changed
number of chunks is needed.
This has the pleasing effect of not changing the linestruct of the
succeeding line when a line is cut.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56226.
When using --nonewlines and the cursor has arrived at the end of the
final line, each press of M-6 would add another copy of that line to
the cutbuffer. That is clearly not the right behavior.
Also, give feedback when a press of M-6 does not actually copy anything.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58088.
The bug was old -- it existed since before version 2.2.0.
First cutting the text to be copied (before copying it back into the
buffer) had unwanted side effects: it moved the cursor, and changed
the linestructs of the current line and the line where the mark was.
[This takes thirty more lines, but the idea is to later get rid of
the partitioning routines entirely.]
This means that in most cases mark_is_before_cursor() is called twice:
once before get_region() is called, and once by get_region() itself.
This small duplication of effort is acceptable: the affected functions
are not time critical, and it makes the code shorter.
