Yes, I guessed that. That sounds like the wrong behavior, to me.
The frame char size is not useful here, I would think. What counts,
for visual _columns_ is the visual char size, i.e., from text scaling.
IOW, I don't see why scaling is not taken into account when
calculating the position in column terms. But what do I know?
I'm just asking what the rationale or use case is behind this behavior.

Yes, I gathered that. Dunno whether we are saying the same thing
or not. I'm questioning whether the frame char size or the
text-scale char size should be used, to define what "columns" are
here.
I would think the latter. But I haven't tried to think this
through carefully. Perhaps there are other considerations
motivating this design, which have not occurred to me.
