I see your point in regard to (1). Yes, if `mwheel-scroll’ can scroll right
or left like horizontal-scroll-bar does, turing off auto-hscroll-mode is not
necessary for case (1). Give me time to understand code of horizontal-scroll-bar.
In regard to (2), let’s say you have a very long line and your point is at the end
of line in a window. The next line is short and even the end of line is not shown
in the window. The third line is very long again.

When you move vertical-scroll-bar down, eventually the long line disappears
above the top of window. The point moves to the end of the next short line.
As a consequence, you see scope shifted. The patch tries to keep the scope to
be the same. To do so, auto-hscroll-mode was set to off.
