You'd have to rethink that when you use visual-line-mode, those are
features, not bugs. (Why do you care about how columns
increase/decrease? For that matter, why do you turn on
column-number-mode at all?)

I have no problem with this when I try it now. Does it happen for you
in "emacs -Q", if you just turn on visual-line-mode?

Are you again talking about putting the cursor beyond the text?
That's impossible in Emacs.
If you are talking about something else, please elaborate.

I cannot reproduce this. Can you give a recipe?
