Well, I personally don't much care for the horizontal scrolling
modeline feature. I just want to make sure that what happened earlier
does not happen again:
It was possible to drag the modeline vertically to rearrange the
window configuration, and the modeline would also get dragged
horizontally. This felt like a bug.
The obvious thing to do is to not enable modeline dragging by default
in user code.
The following is just a thought experiment, but...
the modeline is just another container of text. Shouldn't it be a
buffer? Then natural things like pressing Home or End would work.
