# Objective

- While navigating between search matches with word wrap off via Select
Next match and Select Previous Match, the horizontal autoscroll would
sometimes fail to scroll the viewport enough to show the full searched
word. This happened in both the cases of Previous match and next search
till we had to come to the first appearance of the word.
- Fixes #61409

## Solution

- In `/crates/editor/src/scroll/autoscroll.rs` the function
`autoscroll_horizontally`, the scroll bounds were both being derived
from `selection.head()`, I inferred that head is the position of the
cursor at the end of the selection. But for the correct `start_column`
and `end_column` it needs to depend not just on the cursor at the end.
So rather than using the head for the calculation for both, I have
calculated them using `selection.start` and `selection.end` directly to
display pts.
- Falling back to col 0 or the full line length when the start or end
lies on different row than the current being processed. Now it scrolls
enough to reveal the entire match.

## Testing

- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
1. Ran full tests using `cargo test` on the full repository
2. Manual test present in the showcase section

- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
Disable word wrap, create a file with a short match near the start of a
long unwrapped line and another match further right, search for it, and
use Select Next/Previous Match to jump between them. The full match
should scroll into view each time.

- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Tested on macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
