When using flymake in conjunction with modes that use selective-display (such as folding-mode, the highlighting and error navigation ( flymake-goto-*-error) do not find the correct lines.
this is because forward-line jumps right over the hidden lines.
I redefined flymake-highlight-line and flymake-goto-line to use goto-line rather than forward-line, and I'm getting the behavior that I want -- that is flymake is highlighting the actual errors.
I'm not sure if this is an issue worth pursuing -- even the goto-line documentation says you "probably want" to use forward-line, as you are doing. I just thought I'd bring it up since it does not work correctly in this instance!
