Bug: View not returning to column 0 on fill while in truncate mode [7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ c:/emacs/lisp/org/)]

I agree with the default "wrap" behavior of org-mode to be truncate 
rather than wrap, and want to leave it at that default, but wish that 
when typing text beyond the fill column triggering a fill, that the view 
would return to showing column 0 of the buffer. The way it works now is 
as if it did a LF but not a CR, so the visibility of the left columns 
which were forced to be truncated as the word which will trigger the 
fill remain truncated from view after the fill. This is probably more 
easily apparent where the frame width is only slightly larger than the 
fill columns value. If I toggle-truncate-lines, I get behavior more like 
what I'm expecting, but again in general prefer truncate to wrap for 
org-mode buffers, so was hoping something could be done to force the view to
shift back to column 0 after the fill.

Attached are before and after screen capture images in case the above is 
not clear. Note just updated to 24.3, but it was the same in 24.2, and 
on Win and Mac/nextstep standalone Emacs.

Hi Tom,

thanks for the report.

I don't understand why Org should set the view back to colummn 0
after filling.

Does Org behaves differently than other major modes here?  If not,
I suggest this is a larger issue with Emacs, not really with Org.

Thanks for further details,
