+Subject: [PATCH] column: Do not allow fence to go beyond column size when
+ prepending
+
+When moving the fence location forward when prepending, ensure
+that it does not go past the end of the buffer.
+
+Also get rid of unnecessary branching and strlen calls.
+
+Fix #20509
+
+(cherry picked from commit 53213086304caa3dfbdd7dc39c2668a3aea1a5c0)
