Hm., I checked it, and to my surprise, indeed when jumping with ` to a
mark after a characterwise-delete but in the same line, the mark is not
on the same text. Bug?
Line marks are anchored to the text (noy to line numbers).
Column marks are fixed at columns numbers, they are not
anchored to the text.

What are "line marks" and "column marks"? I was doing my testing with `a
-- is that a "line mark" or a "column mark"? The way I read the docs,
it's just a file-local mark, and until now I thought it would stay with
the text it was on.
-- Or did you mean "mark lines" (the lines of the marks) and "mark
columns" (the columns of the marks)?
When breaking a line before a mark, the mark stays with the part-line
before the line break:
azertyAZERTY
Put the cursor on "e". Hit ma
Put the cursor on "E". Hit mb
Put the cursor on "A". Hit i then <Return> and <Esc>.
Now `b brings you to "y", not to "E" and not anywhere on the line
holding "AZERTY".
And I repeat: Bug?
Best regards,
Tony.
