I have not yet looked into concealing in detail. But is it expected,
that moving the cursor over concealed chars takes them into account?
For example:
:h editing.txt
1247
norm! 53|
norm! 2l

Note, that you need to press "l" 2 times for moving the cursor 2 chars
to the right, but it actually moves the cursor only one cell to the right.
I can understand, why this is done, but it seeems a little bit unexpected.

Christian
