```
Problem: With 'virtualedit' set to "all" and 'cursorcolumn' set, the wrong
column may be highlighted after a command that moved the cursor
into virtual space and back.
Solution: Make sure the virtual column is up to date before drawing the
window.
```
fixes: #2576
---
set virtualedit=all
set cursorcolumn
call setline(1, ['', '', ''])
call cursor(3, 1)
Pressing \<Del> highlights the second column while the cursor is in the
first one.
"x" is translated to "dl", and with 'virtualedit' the "l" succeeds on an
empty line, so coladvance() sets w_virtcol for the virtual position. When
the operator puts the cursor back, do_pending_operator() resets
VALID_VIRTCOL, but the old value stays in w_virtcol and nothing computes it
again: only the ruler validates it, in win_redr_ruler().
This was in todo.txt, the entry is removed.
