I don't think so.
Doing that, (at least as in the below patch, for example), always puts
the current message flush left. And that can result in later messages
in the threads, (not descendants of the current thread though), being
cut off on the left. (And all this with dozens of empty columns on the
right of my terminal.) That's precisely the behavior I was getting
before my patch and which I'm trying to change.
What I want instead is for the message to appear in its "natural"
position (according to the threading), unless that would cause the
message to be cut off on the right. In which case, we jump to the
minimum column such that:
1. We don't cut any of the current message off on the left
2. We display all of the message on the right, (if possible
without violating point 1).
I believe that what I've coded achieves that. The two open questions I
still have are:
A. Is there some simpler way to achieve the result I want with
some of the existing code?
B. If not, is some of the existing code rendered obsolete with
my code in place?
As for (B), for example, with my code in place I don't think there's
any need for a notion of "ideal context". The ideal context is the
natural position of the thread.
And I still haven't figured out what loose_alignment means and which
actions will cause loose vs. non-loose layout.
