I see. So how about this text instead:
Note that the only times characters beyond the cursor should appear to move
are in 'list' mode, and occasionally when 'wrap' is set (and the line changes
length to become shorter or wider than the width of the screen). In other
cases spaces may be inserted to avoid characters to move.
