How can I preserve point's position while scrolling IN TEXT? I spent hours roaming through Internet/searched the forum, but everyone seems to be interested in preserving point's position on screen. I want to be able to use scroll bar with a mouse or PageUp/Down to look something up and then return, but the point insists on staying on screen. Another, I think related issue, if I want to find a matching parentheses, I click on one and the region between the two is selected. If this region fits the screen - fine. But if not, when I try scrolling using a mouse to find another end of the region, the region gets unselected. In all other graphical editors scrolling with a mouse doesn't move point/unselects region. I just "upgraded" to Emacs from Eclipse and I guess there is a way to get such behavior in Emacs. How?
