With an image taller than the window, scrolling behaviour is jerky and
asymmetrical in Eww.
Scrolling Downwards with <down>
===============================
When scrolling down the page (pressing <down> <down> <down> ...), when
the cursor reaches the line above the image, it stops going to the next
line. Instead, the image is smoothly scrolled up in to view. I am told
that this is the designed behaviour.
When the line with the cursor disappears off the top of the window, the
cursor jumps to the image. There is a slight jerk when this happens,
which might be worth eliminating.
At some point (and it's approximately when two lines are visible below
the image) the cursor jumps to the line below the image, and, most
unfortunately, the window scrolls so that that line is the top line in
the window. This results in a huge jerk, and it also means that the
image has disappeared before you can read a caption directly below it.
If the designed behaviour mentioned three paragraphs above this one is
correct, then it would seem better, when the image has scrolled up
sufficiently for the line below it to be visible, if the cursor then
jumped to that line, but stayed on it while additional <down> presses
continued to scroll the image smoothly upwards until the bottom of the
image had disappeared off the top of the window, and then the <down>
presses resumed doing next-line in the normal way.
Scrolling Upwards with <up>
===========================
Currently when scrolling upwards from below an image the behaviour is
completely different (and worse) from that observed when scrolling
downwards from above one. Surely the upward-going behaviour should be
symmetrical with the downward-going behaviour?
Additional Oddities
===================
Furthermore, while scrolling one key press at a time like this, there
are occasional "glitches" where the image jumps back to the position it
was in immediately before scrolling started.
Additionally (and I think this may only happen at the same time as the
"glitches" mentioned above), the cursor column changes from the first
column for no obvious reason, and then appears at the ends of lines of
text instead of at the beginning of them.

Please provide a URL to such an image, since the exact behavior
depends on the relative sizes of the image and the default font.
Also, does the behavior you describe happen in "emacs -Q", or do you
need some non-default customizations to see what you describe?

Yes, that's the design.

The jerk should bring the top of the image to the top of the window.
If that is what happens, then that's the intended behavior.

Wasn't the caption visible before the jump?
In any case, it's impossible to reason about the described behavior
without knowing the image size and size of the font used to display
text around it.

This is next to impossible with the current design of scrolling in
Emacs. The goal of pixel-level scrolling in Emacs 24 is to allow the
user a chance to see every part of the image at least once. If that
goal is reached, the rest are deeper limitations of the current
design, and will require significant changes, not just in the area of
scrolling tall images.

No, it should not (and cannot) be symmetrical, for boring technical
reasons. Again, if the user doesn't have a chance of seeing each part
of the image at least once, please describe the details.

I don't see it with images I tried. It would be best if you could
provide a reproducible recipe, with a specific image, starting from
"emacs -Q", that shows these glitches.

Likewise.
Thanks.

I saw the same general behaviour with all of the few pages I
visited. The one I did my detailed examination on was
http://www.gnu.org/distros/screenshot.html.

Yes, with "emacs -Q".
For example this recipe (where the maximize before loading the page is
just to get the image big enough to be taller than the frame (as Eww
(sensibly, I think) resizes images to fit in the frame when it loads a
page). On my machine this makes the image slightly less than twice the
height of the display.
emacs -Q

Yes. That's what happens.
If it's the current intended behaviour, then that is what it is. I
raised this bug report to point out that the behaviour I observe is
sub-optimal from a user-experience point of view, Emacs could be better
in this regard. Consider it then, perhaps, as a wishlist item for Emacs
25 or 26!
I myself am a bit ambivalent about this suddenly having images in
Emacs. I'm not sure that I like them, and I'm certain that I don't need
them. However to be able to view web pages within Emacs seems useful,
and in checking out this functionality in Emacs 24.3.50 I noticed the
perceived deficiencies reported, so I reported them, because I believe
that it's hard to improve something when one isn't aware of what might
be wrong with it.

The first line of it, but if there were a two-line gap instead of a
one-line gap between the image and its caption, it wouldn't be visible.
But if the intended behaviour is that the window should scroll to bring
the line below the image to the top of the window when a line or two
below the image becomes visible, then it is impossible in general with
an imgage taller than the frame to see text below the image that
pertains to it while the image is still in view (unless that text
happens to be only one or two lines long).

Fair enough. From ignorance one may stipulate impossible
requirements. Yet it's not impossible that in such naive requirements
lies a germ of a better future Emacs.

I believe human perception requires more than that.
I don't know about pixel-level scrolling. Naively (again) I feel that
even charcter-wise line-by-line scrolling would be far smoother that the
current observed behaviour if "behind" the image there were inserted as
many empty lines of text as needed to span the height of the image.

Fair enough. I was ignorant of the fact that the failings of the current
behaviour were intentional, due to contraints of the existing infrastructure.

From the point-of-view of an ideal interface, yes it should, in my
opinion, be symmetrical. But the ideal can never be realised or it is no
longer ideal, and in this case, obviously there are very practical
reasons as well.

It works in the way you describe aside from the "glitches" (below)
and those allow the user to see the same part of the image more than once!

If it is reproducible on demand, I don't see the pattern. That's what I
meant by the "occasional" in my description.
However, using the recipe provided earlier in this message, I saw it
happen thrice while scrolling up and down the page maybe seven or eight
times, so it is not uncommon on my set up.
I only see it happenning going down the page. (I had previously seen a
very similar "glitch" going up the page, but I realise now that that was
with an image in a Gnus message not an image in Eww -- I don't know if
there is any commonality in the code involved.)

After the "glitch" occurs at the beginning of scrolling an image, when
the cursor emerges in the text below the image it is at the ends of the
lines instead of in the first column. This seems to happen consistently
after the "glitch" occurs.

But a two-line gap would mean one more empty line, so I think the
caption would still be visible.

I think I found the way of reproducing this, and I will look into
that.

Yes, I see this also.

Did you get any further with this, by any chance? Cursor movement and
scrolling is still somewhat unpredictable. With visual line mode, my
expectation is that hitting the down key will take me to the next
visible line, and that doesn't always happen, especially with large-ish
images.
But it's much better now than when this bug report was created a couple
years ago...

I have vague recollection that I did, but I have no proof. Sorry.
Can you show a URL and describe the gestures to reproduce the problem?

I don't have any handy, and they are probably dependent on the screen
size, the font size and the window sizes. But these glitches usually
show up after a while if you use eww on web sites that have many images,
like newspaper web sites.

Testing this afternoon, here's a recipe that shows the problem for me
(on Emacs 24):
1. emacs -Q [1]
2. M-x eww
3. Enter http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/ at the prompt [2]
4. M-x split-window-below (this is to make the images taller than the
window)
5. Scroll down the page with C-n, down to the heading "Secure Boot vs
Restricted Boot" (about 51 lines)
6. C-n to the blank line above the image
7. C-n eight times (this scrolls the image at one would expect, one
"line" at a time)
8. C-n again
[1] Emacs 24.5. Default font is coming up as
-xos4-Terminus-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-c-60-iso10646-1.
[2] Accessed 2015-12-25 18:13 UTC.
The `C-n's in Step 7 scroll the image as one would expect. At the
second last of those `C-n's, the heading "Secure Boot vs Restricted
Boot" scrolls off the top of the window. At the next `C-n' the blank
line below the image is at the top of the window.
At the next `C-n' (Step 8) which I understand is supposed to move
point to the line below the image [Although it would be awesome if it
could continue scrolling the image one "line" at a time.], the
scrolling "glitches" and point moves _up_ again to the blank line
above the image.
I will install Emacs 25 now and report back whether I still see the
same behaviour on this system.
Regards,
Neil.

Thanks. I see nothing wrong in the behavior there, it does what it
was supposed to do, given the arrangement of the images and the window
size.

That's an entirely different problem: Emacs doesn't find a good place
to start the window, so it recenters the window. I will look into it
when I have time.

If you need an easier example to test image scrolling with, here's a
sexp. :-)
I just find large-image scrolling in Emacs to be kinda
... unpredictable? But it does work. But perhaps it would be nicer if
it was somehow less surprising.
(progn
(switch-to-buffer "*image*")
(erase-buffer)
(set-frame-height (window-frame (selected-window)) 1000 nil t)
(let* ((width 300)
(height 800)
(svg (svg-create width height)))
(svg-gradient svg "background" 'linear '((0 . "#b0b0b0") (100 . "#808080")))
(svg-rectangle svg 0 0 width height :gradient "background"
:stroke-width 2 :stroke-color "black")
(dotimes (i 30)
(insert (format "%d\n" i)))
(svg-insert-image svg)
(insert "\n")
(dotimes (i 30)
(insert (format "%d\n" i)))
(goto-char (point-min))))

I don't need another example, I need someone who'd be willing to look
into these problems and fix them. It isn't right for Emacs to depend
on a single curmudgeon for fixing all the display glitches: what if
I'm run over by a bus or something?

I get an empty window showing nothing. What did I miss? And how is
this related to the issue at hand, may I ask?

We need more curmudgeons!
Oops. Did I just volunteer myself?

Hm, you were supposed to get a window with some text, and then an image
higher than the frame, and then some more text, which demonstrates one
of the issues discussed in this bug report...

Ah, I see: it lacked (load "svg").
But after that, I see no issues with scrolling, none at all.

I get (when hitting `down' from the start of the buffer) that I advance
line by line until I hit the image, and then I suddenly get a big jump,
and about half the window displays the top of the image.
Then hitting `down' some more, it advances line by line.
Then when we get to the end of the image, I get "0 1" at the bottom of
the frame, and then I hit `down' once more, and then nothing of the
image is displayed.
Going back up, things are a bit less surprising.

This is all as expected, so there's no bug here.

I don't understand why.
Your code generates an image whose height is smaller than the window
height, and in that case Emacs scrolls the entire image off the window
in one go, because all of the image was already visible once. If I
decrease the frame height so that the image becomes taller than the
window, the image is scrolled partially until you had a chance to see
all of it, then the rest is scrolled away in one large step. This is
exactly how the code in simple.el is designed and implemented, so I
see no bug here.
Once again, the principle is to make sure the user sees all of the
image before the image is scrolled off the viewport.

Oh, the
(set-frame-height (window-frame (selected-window)) 1000 nil t)
bit didn't work? That was supposed to ensure that the window was
shorter than the image...

It might be how it's designed, but it's (as you can see from this bug
report) behaviour that people find surprising.

Maybe they don't understand why this was designed like that? I
explained the idea, and it makes sense if you consider the use case of
text displayed with very large font.
If that is still not good enough, you and they are welcome to get the
hands dirty in the relevant parts of simple.el. I don't plan on doing
that any time soon, having stepped through that code and hacked it too
much for one lifetime.

Oh, that explains a lot. Yes, that behaviour makes sense for huge
fonts. But not so much for images, where you'd expect them to enter and
leave in similar fashion.
And I do think that the huge-image case is more common than the
huge-font case, so perhaps it makes more sense to cater to the former
than the latter.

I can imagine. :-) I'll try to familiarise myself with the code and
see what I come up with...
