Do you mean 'scroll past end of line'? If enabled the caret can move into the
space behind the last character of the line.

'Keep Caret X position' has no effect when 'scroll past end of line' is enabled.
If 'scroll past end of line' is disabled then 'Keep Caret X position' will
remember the caret X position until you move left/right and do what you
described above.

It works fine here in r15864.
