I use view mode fairly often and one little bug I have noticed in it
is that it sometimes sets the goal column to zero.  I haven't found any
action on my part which seems to consistently lead to this happening
so I'm not sure what causes it.  Has anyone got a fix for this?

Another thing about view mode which is annoying is that in the buffer
name, it automatically displays the whole path of the file instead of
just the file name which pushes the date (I have display-time on) and
all the other information in the mode line to the right and often it
won't all fit.  Is there a fix to make view mode display only the file
name in the mode line?

Finally, in *shell*, if I type 'cd a' it automatically sets the default
path to './a' but if I type a (alias a cd a) it leaves the default
path set to '.'.  Has anyone written an extended shell.el which watches
for this?  If so, I'd really like to get a copy.

Thanks in advance.
