I think some of those xasserts are bogus -- it's just hard to _prove_. In any case, I have removed two of them from move_it_vertically_backward that are often triggered without any indication of anything actually being wrong (emacs doesn't loop and the display looks fine). > Those xasserts that replace visual cues with an aborting Emacs do not > just make using Emacs for serious work harder, but they also actively > _hinder_ debugging possibly occuring display problems.
