It overscrolls: it scrolls down beyond the end of the buffer, so that
the screen is all empty.
It shouldn't jerk when you click and drag - very often, I grab the
slider to scroll down a little. When the window jumps to a totally
different document position, the slider becomes practically useless in
that usage context.
I acknowledge your explanations on the other points - thanks. In the UI
that I'd like to implement in order to conform to standards in my
environment, the vertical slider size shows a proportion of _ displayed
lines_ not document characters or real lines (those that end with a CR
or LF). Whether that is better or not, I don't know, but what I do know
is that a) "less visual change on the screen is more", and that b) both
Windows and Mac software has sliders with a stable size.
But the slider size should have less priority.
Is there a way to store count-screen-lines statically and just update
it when necessary?
