I can confirm that this bug is still present in Emacs 28.  (Well, it
behaves slightly differently, but the "jump" is still there.)

This unfortunately got no followup at the time, and in the years since
this, ruler-mode has changed substantially, and the patch no longer
applies.

Would it be possible for you to respin the patch, and we can actually
get it applied this time?

  Some additional word of comment: 

 - I believe the implicit meaning of the above code is 
   "(car (posn-col-row ...)) is fine in text area, but needs
   to be `adjusted' when the drag is performed in header-line
   area";

- whether this adjustment should really be performed by
  posn-col-row or by ruler-mode-window-col is not very clear
  to me; I conjectured that subr.el provides somewhat
  `lower-level' service functions who probably don't want
  to know about window-margins, fringe-columns,
  scroll-bar-columns, but I might be wrong;

- be aware that dragging the column indicators does not work
  if you use non-zero zoom (C-x C-+ or C-x C--); this is an
  independent problem that the patch does not address; the
  issue would need his own bug report.

  Thanks for reading, kindest regards.

I confirm that starting Emacs with -Q and this patch, # in the ruler no
longer jumps when mouse-2 is dragged straight down out of the ruler.
(For some reason, patch failed to apply the first hunk, but I applied it
by hand and rebuilt Emacs without a problem or warning.)

Hi! I did the following:

- cloned http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git
  at commit 19428947aaf2c68ad735a65bdc02d0523b5d15ae 
  (Mon Jun 16 12:49:09 2014 +0400)

- applied the same changes as before, additionally taking into account
  Stephen's observations about left scroll-bar and a compilation error

- checked that the modified ruler-mode.el compiles with no errors
  and no warnings
  
- rebuilt the patch with "git format-patch 19428947aaf2c68ad735a65bdc02d0523b5d15ae"

  The new tentative patch is attached here below:

  Hi Stephen, I confirm that left scroll bar was a relevant
difference between us: if I type "M-S-; (set-scroll-bar-mode 'left) RET"
in ruler-mode I get scroll-bar on left side and see the indicators
"hop" exactly two columns left, same as in your setup.

  Ehm... my apologies for that :) I'm now going to post
another version of the patch (can you please throw away the
previous one). Kindest regards,

  Andrea

Me too (as well as right fringe).

I do indeed that the scroll bar on the left (it's also a non-toolkit
scroll bar, FWIW).

Do you mean X-window borders, i.e., Emacs frame borders?  If so, I have
one pixel wide borders.

With your patch, I still get a jump of # when I drag the mouse pointer
down out of the ruler, but now only by two columns to the left,
regardless of whether I set the left margin or not.

After applying your earlier patch this won't apply any more.  Kindly
provide a new one against the present trunk.

 >    Hello, I found a minor bug in ruler mode, here is

 >   - start emacs -Q
 >   - M-x ruler-mode RET
 >   - click S-<mouse-1> on the column 10 of the ruler, this will set a left

 >     "#" for comment column, and "pilcrow" symbol for paragraph fill indicator
 >   - click and hold down mouse-2 (= center mouse button) on the red "#" indicator
 >   - drag the indicator horizontally; indicator will follow the mouse as expected
 >   - continue dragging slightly diagonally (for example in West-South-West
 >     direction); as soon as you drag the mouse out of the grey ruler area,
 >     you will see that the indicator "hops" left of about 10 columns

I can reproduce the behavior now.  Thanks.

  Thanks Stephen for having tested at your side.

  Yes, (1) is the same for me.

  I can't replicate any of the cases in (2); I always get 1 column hop.

  In my setup I see the indicator jumps left for (margin width + 1)
columns. I'm afraid some other window parameters may be involved,
for example:

  - if you have a leftside fringe (I have it)
  - if you have a leftside scrollbar (I only have it rightside)
  - (maybe?) if your window manager sets thick window borders
    (I have just 3-4 pixel borders)

  I wrote a (quite rough) patch that seems to resolve all "hop"
problems on my installation. May I please ask if anyone has time
and patience to try the patch and report if it provides some benefit.

I can reproduce your observation on GNU Emacs 24.3.91.10
(x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.4) of 2014-06-13 on rosalinde.
I can add these observations:

(1) I see # jump whenever the mouse pointer is moved off the ruler while
    holding down mouse-2, regardless of which direction you drag in (but
    conditioned on the following point).

(2) If you don't set the left margin, I see # jump as follows:
    - If you drag from # straight down (due south), # jumps three
      columns to the left. 
    - If you drag from # southeast by one character, # jumps two columns
      to the left.
    - If you drag from # southeast by two characters, # jumps one column
      to the left.
    - If you drag from # southeast by more than two characters, # does
      not jump to the left.
    - If you drag from # southwest, # slides (but doesn't jump) to
      whatever column you stop the drag on.  Moreover, once you drag #
      southwest, you can slide # anywhere while holding mouse-2 with the
      mouse pointer in the text area, just like when it is on the rule.

(3) If you set the left margin, the the number of columns jumped by
    dragging due south equals (margin width + 3), if I'm not mistaken.

  Hello, I found a minor bug in ruler mode, here is
a recipe to reproduce it:

 - start emacs -Q
 - M-x ruler-mode RET
 - click S-<mouse-1> on the column 10 of the ruler, this will set a left
   margin
 - you will see the ruler has two column indicators in red colour:
   "#" for comment column, and "pilcrow" symbol for paragraph fill indicator
 - click and hold down mouse-2 (= center mouse button) on the red "#" indicator
 - drag the indicator horizontally; indicator will follow the mouse as expected
 - continue dragging slightly diagonally (for example in West-South-West
   direction); as soon as you drag the mouse out of the grey ruler area,
   you will see that the indicator "hops" left of about 10 columns
 
  I realize the explanation may be hard to follow because it involves
mouse dragging, so I prepared a small explicative image, it's available
here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thesoftwarebin/the-emacs-software-bin/master/emacs-bugs/ruler-mode-diagonal-drag-issue.png
  
  May someone please confirm if the above recipe seems to be reproducible.

  Thanks in advance for your attention and your patience in reading,
kindest regards. 

  Andrea
