Above problem was able to solve with the use of cur.targetX() and
bv.workWidth() as follows. Now the whole page slides as expected if we move
the cursor along a too wide Math inset. But the cursor gets disappear after
passing the right edge of the screen.
I tried to fix it by using cur.setTargetX(int); but failed. Although the
cursor target can change numerically, it is not changing graphically.
int inc_x=x;
int cur_x=cur.targetX(); //current x position of the cursor
BufferView & bv = cur.bv();
int const maxwidth = bv.workWidth();
cout << cur.pos() << " " << cur_x << " " << maxwidth << endl ;
if (cur_x >= maxwidth)
{
inc_x-=(cur_x-maxwidth);
}
RowPainter rp(pi, *text_, pit, row, bidi, inc_x, y);
