mu4e: workspace restriction doesn't apply to mu4e links

When clicking a `mu4e` link within an Org mode entry, the email opens in the current window instead of the designated `*mu4e*` workspace. This behavior also causes the `*mu4e*` workspace to disappear after exiting the email, contrary to the expected behavior where the workspace should be preserved.

Movement with return ligature is misaligned

AI summary

The user is reporting a visual misalignment issue when navigating text containing 2-wide ligatures (like 'return' or 'yield') in their editor. When the cursor is positioned after such a ligature and the user moves up or down a line, the cursor appears one visual character to the left of its expected position. This behavior is inconsistent with 1-wide ligatures, which maintain alignment.
