that sounds similar to current behavior.

my suggestion would wrap to the character column of the beginning of
the third text column.

similar to html for non-first table cells.  not lhs.

lorem ipsum        akemashite omedetou    hello
asjnfaksjdnf         ajsk dfnkajsd fkaj sf        this line
                                                                   long

code likely exists someplace in core for this.  in org or a browser.

thank you.

it would make sense, for me, usually, for SPC to wrap around to first
page in menus, so that DEL is not strictly needed.  transient wraps
for arrow; idk SPC.

you are absolutely right.  i have had something similar forever.

the reason i didn't notice it is 1] for me the fringe glyph is small
-- can it be larger? and 2] the cursor is always at bol in transient
in my case for that menu, so the fringe is less noticeable next to a
large block cursor.

also, i just noticed that transient has a dim horizontal line at eob
in that menu which is thoughtful and useful.  i don't know what face
it uses.

i don't think you're missing anything significant.  i didn't mean to
make you do forensics.  it was merely a recollection of a possibility;
 i'd find it useful if todo kw scrolled, but i cannot say that it
regressed.
