GNU Emacs 18.53.11 on NeXT 1.0.1 Currently, the minibuffer scrolls horizontally in integer multiples of the screenwidth. That is, you see the first <screenwidth> chars, or the next <screenwidth> chars etc. This isn't very helpful when you have a long minibuffer text (e.g. editing a big Redo command), especially when there are only a few characters left at the end of the minibuffer display, or you're working near the beginning/end of the line. Ideally, minibuffer horizontal scrolling should be something like buffer vertical scrolling, i.e. the cursor should be maintained somewhere in the middle of the line. I have no quick fix to suggest.
