I don't know how fundamental it is. Unless someone is willing to delve
into the code (do you?) looking about how this might or might not get
fixed, I suppose the answer (if any) should come from Bram.
Am I mistaken, or does the bottom (file) line appear in its entirety
(possibly moving several lines out the top of the window) when you move
the cursor onto it (assuming it begins somewhere in the middle of the
window and, with display=lastline, ends in @@@ at bottom right before
you move to it)?
Best regards,
Tony.
