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.
