To reproduce this issue, please start Emacs with:

    $ emacs -Q

and insert the following forms in the *scratch* buffer:

    (defun insert-bar (width)
      (let* ((height 5)
             (data (with-temp-buffer
                     (insert (format "P1\n%s %s\n" width height))
                     (dotimes (_ height)
                       (insert (make-string width ?1) "\n"))
                     (buffer-string))))
        (insert-image `(image :type pbm :data ,data)) "t"))

    (progn
      (insert "\n")
      (dotimes (_ 3)
        (insert-bar (/ (window-pixel-width) 3))
        (insert "         ")))

Then evaluate the forms with M-x eval-buffer RET.

The code is meant to insert 3 bars of equal length, each 1/3 of the
window size in pixels.

Unexpectedly, the rightmost bar is much shorter than the other two bars.

I say "unexpectedly", because the documentation of insert-image (which
is used to insert the image by the forms above) states:

    "If SLICE is =E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99 or omitted the whole image is insert=
ed."

Yet, even though SLICE is omitted in the forms above, the whole image is
apparently not inserted, only a smaller slice is inserted.

If possible, I would like to insert the entire image no matter where it
appears in the buffer, even if scrolling is necessary to reveal
remaining parts. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you a lot!
Markus

Emacs doesn't support wrapping of images, it never did.  The display
engine chops images at the right edge of the window.

I added a note there about the forced truncation of images.

No, not with how we display images at this time.
