[gnu.emacs.bug] goal-column not buffer-specific

karl@cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu (Karl Kleinpaste) (01/17/90)

A user here noticed a problem where, after using the "view" mode, his
cursor would always hang on the left when using C-n and C-p in other
buffers.  View.el sets goal-column to zero, which produced the effect,
but why is goal-column not a buffer-specific variable?  Any good
reason?
