Eil I accept that emacs is way powerful than vim and other
editors. Even I am also a strong supporter of emacs.

I filed this bug because for me it was very difficult to work
with "long lines" and I don't want to use some other editor
just for this purpose.

I think if we can get over this limitation of emacs it will
make emacs a little more powerful!

Does Vim support different font sizes on the same line, inline images,
display properties, overlays, invisible text, etc.?  These features is
what makes this particular case hard; other editors don't need to
handle all that complexity.

Oh, well, i wasn't suggesting those commands as any kind of solution; i
just wanted to indicate what behaviours i observed when using those
commands.

Hm, okay. In my own tests, above i was using Emacs in an X window, not
in a terminal ....

*nod* Yes, when i open test.txt in Vim, moving to the end of the line
with $, or to the beginning of the line with ^, both take less than a
second. And cursor movement with j, k etc. is basically
responsive. Whereas in Emacs, trying to move point up or down results in
20+ seconds of lag before point is actually moved.

As another data point: i tried disabling `visual-line-mode`, instead
loading longlines.el from EmacsWiki and enabling
`longlines-mode`. `longlines-mode` was /much/ more responsive - moving
point up, down, to beginning of line, or to end of line, all only had a
lag of 1-2 seconds.

i've been able to reproduce this on both 24.3.3 and 24.3.93.2 (both
manually compiled on 64-bit Debian Wheezy running on an i5), having
created the utf-8 file test.txt with:

    for i in `seq 1 1000000`; do echo -n "$i " >> test.txt; done

then loading that file into an `emacs -Q` session. Moving from one end
of the buffer takes 15-20 seconds.

If i `toggle-truncate-lines`, the line count is correctly listed as 1,
but trying to move to the end of the line only results in displaying
complete numbers up to and including '194455', even though the column
number on the mode-line says that point is at the line's end. The
highest column number at which point is still visible is 1250082; after
that, moving point further towards the end of the line makes the cursor
no longer visible.

If i call `fill-paragraph` on that line, i get a line count of 98882,
and moving from one end of the buffer to the other only takes a second
or so.

Hi,

I am a daily user of emacs. I am a big fan and supporter of emacs.
First of all I would like thank all developers of emacs for such a
wonderful editor!

I would like to report a bug in emacs.

Here goes the description of the bug:
Whenever I open a text file which has a very big line(a continuous line)
without a newline inside it (let's say first 1000000 space
separated numbers) then emacs is just unable to handle it.
Emacs is unable to show line count of buffer, instead it shows 'L??'
and general commands like 'move to end of file', 'move to start of line'
take a lot of time (something like a complete minute) to work.I tried by
removing
everything from my '.emacs' file but that didn't help!

I really want to use emacs and I can't even think of using some
other editor!

I am on 64 bit ubuntu and using emacs 24.3.1

Is there any way so that I can make emacs to handle such big files?

P.S: As I don't have a proper mail server configured on my system
I am just copying the content from 'M-x report-emacs-bug' here!

Thank you,
Amit Barve
