Subject: 24.3.50; Cursor switching brutally several lines at a time with
 next/previous-line
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:24:18 +0100

Hi,
since some days, after working some time in a buffer (undefined), 
when using C-n/p or arrows up/down my cursor is jumping several lines at
a time, sometimes 2 lines sometimes 5 or more, it is undefined.
After killing the buffer the bug disappear, but come back after some
time.

Can you try to figure out when this started to appear, or (better)
bisect it?

I suspect this is related to cache-long-scans being non-nil.  Try
setting it to nil and see if the problem disappears.  If it does, do
try bisecting or finding a reproducible recipe.

Thanks.

Not yet.

I could reproduce it several times now:

In a emacs repo handled by git:

1) Apply a stash or make some changes.(I use here cl-macs.el)

2) make some more changes, save buffer twice or more.

3) C-x v u (revert changes)

Now in the zone where the changes was, cursor is jumping several lines
when doing C-n/p.

Indeed, if I set cache-long-scans to nil, and reproduce exactly the same recipe,
the bug is not happening.

Does it have to be the Emacs repo, or does it happen even with a small
repo with a single file in it?

Also, does it matter in which part of the file you make changes?

> 2) make some more changes, save buffer twice or more.

Why twice or more?  Or do you mean make changes, save, make some more
changes (in a different place?), then save again?

Can you try the patch below?

(FWIW, I couldn't reproduce the problem using something similar to
your recipe, but with bzr instead of git.)

No, it happen also in my helm repo, editing helm files, I gave you
cl-macs.el example because this file is available in emacs.

> Also, does it matter in which part of the file you make changes?

I didn't check this, the changes I made were in `cl--loop-handle-accum'
line 1565/2885, so more or less the middle.

Yes, it is what I meant, but it happen also without this step, just
reverting.
Also it happened also without reverting, only editing, saving and then
it happened.

Now with (setq-default cache-long-scans nil) it is no more happening.
