Moving down and up a line to move the cursor leftwards shouldn't be allowed #3

Given some text like the above, the script sometimes decides that the best route from A to C would be j to move the cursor down to B, then k to move it back up to C.

However, in reality Vim remembers the column the cursor was originally on, so moving back upwards ends up on A.

This can be fixed by using winsaveview() to store cursor positions, in particular the curswant property.
