Actually you are right. The problem lies in the folding module.

But anyway, even on a low power computer, scanning just one line more 
will not be noticeable.
That is why (until folding gets improved) the ScanFrom does a tiny bit 
more work.

The problem is that some folds end in the previous line;=> that means 
the token indicating the end, is in the line *below* the folds end.
Yes it still can (and will) be solved in a better way. But as I said, it 
shouldn't have an impact. It is still way faster than a person can ever 
type.


Of course I don't know the original, I only looked at it during the past 
6 month, and can only comment on the impat changes in that time have made

As far as I can see it still is. And while I can follow the theoretical 
point of the issue, I don't see a practical case where it would make a 
difference.

Anyway, some parts of this issue are easy to fix (if they are broken at 
all, which I still haven't checked).
