But how long will we wait for Emacs 26?

If both linum-mode (or nlinum-mode) and org-indent-mode are enabled,
then moving the cursor to the previous line using <up> causes it to
jump horizontally to the right. The jump matches the current
indentation. I would expect the cursor to remain in the same column.
Load linum.org (contents below) with minimal config. linum.org will
enable linum-mode and org-indent-mode:
emacs -Q linum.org
Place your cursor on the "2" in the fourth line and press <up>. The
cursor will jump two columns to the right to the "4" in the third
line. Press <up> again and the cursor will move to the "4" in the
second line. Press <up> again and the cursor will jump back to the "e"
in the first line.
What is interesting is that you get different behavior when using
<down>. The cursor remains in the same column as you move down each
line. So starting on the "e" in the first line, pressing <down> moves
the cursor to the "2" on the second line.
If you insert a second level heading in between the first and the
second line, then the jumps will be four columns instead of two.
I discovered this problem first in nlimum-mode, but it is easier to
reproduce using linum-mode when starting Emacs with -Q.
Contents of linum.org:
* heading
1234 line 2
1234 line 3
1234 line 4
# Local Variables:
# eval: (org-indent-mode 1)
# eval: (linum-mode 1)
# End:
I don't think it's worth fixing: linum.el and nlinum.el are on their way
out since Emacs 26 will ship with the same feature, implemented at the
C level.
It would be nice to know, however, if there is the same problem with
that new implementation.
