Sure, let me rephrase: for two-finger scrolling, it's hard to emit a
single scroll event. With a smaller step size it is easier to get it
close to the scale I want, but regardless of the step size, choosing an
exact text scale is difficult. This leads to buffers having slightly
different text scales.
