This has nothing to do with "rigid scrolling" (or I don't understand
this concept), and everything with `right-margin-goal-column' which
is a logical right edge of the screen for R2L display.

In a wide screen the above will be shown as:
    +------------------------------------------------------------+
    |                                            NI SELIF EHT TUP|
    |/dir1/sdr2/sdr3                                             |
    |                                        MEHT EKAT LLIW I DNA|
    +------------------------------------------------------------+

In a less wide screen it will be shown as:
    +----------------------------+
    |            NI SELIF EHT TUP|
    |/dir1/sdr2/sdr3             |
    |        MEHT EKAT LLIW I DNA|
    +----------------------------+

In a wide screen with `right-margin-goal-column` set to 30:
    +------------------------------------------------------------+
    |              NI SELIF EHT TUP                              |
    |/dir1/sdr2/sdr3                                             |
    |           EHT EKAT LLIW I DNA                              |
    +------------------------------------------------------------+

I hope this is clearer.

Ehud.
