Environment

Emacs version: 30.0.50 and 29.2
Operating System:
Evil version: 1.15
Evil installation type: With Straight
Graphical/Terminal: Graphical
Tested in a make emacs session (see CONTRIBUTING.md): No (but with emacs -q)

Reproduction steps

• Place the cursor at the beginning of a line in normal state.
• Evaluate (bolp) (Return t if point is at the beginning of a line).
• It returns t.
• Switch to visual state.
• Evaluate (bolp)
• It returns nil.

Expected behavior

• Expected (bolp) to return t after switching to visual state.

Actual behavior

• It returns nil instead.

Question

• How can I reliably check if I'm at the beginning of a line even in that case?
• Am I doing something wrong?
• Is there maybe a variable I can configure to change this behaviour?

Further notes

• After switching to visual (point) is increased by 1
• If I switch to visual state when I am not at the beginning of the line and then move to the beginning of the line with 0, bolp correctly returns t. So, this is only a problem when the cursor is at the beginning of the line when entering visual state and the marked region is only the first character..
