Bug Description

After recent update of emacs-snapshot, when I move the cursor with C-p or uparrow it goes two lines up when
cursor is at the start of the line or when previous line is empty line. This only happens for C-p and not C-n.

Attached is the video example of what happens.

I don't have any additional advice on this command and it happens in every mode.
I'm not sure whether this is ubuntu related or emacs related or something with my computer is not OK, but it started after PPA package update.

I've realized that in lines that are too long and where the text is trimmed or wrapped this does not happen..

anyway this small temprorary fix works

(defun go-back ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-line -1))

(global-set-key [?\C-p] 'go-back)

Could you please use M-x report-emacs-bug? And could you please tell me exactly how you reproduce the problem, starting with "emacs -Q" (which disables your own configuration)?

Thank you
