Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Open a file with more lines than the terminal has in micro. Place the cursor on line 1, column 1.

Press the key combination that executes "CursorEnd", in standard "CtrlEnd".

The coordinates in the status line have changed, but the text is not moved.

After pressing "Up" for "CursorUp", the state of the file is correct:

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in micro using a file longer than the terminal, placing the cursor at line 1, column 1 and invoking CtrlEnd. Start by tracing the CursorEnd command and the viewport update; done means the text view scrolls to the cursor while the status-line coordinates remain correct.
