Actually, I think we should first get vertical scroll bars (and scroll-up/scroll-down) to get a reasonably good job at providing a smooth scroll experience in the presence of tall lines/images. While we are at the point where there is some sort of guarantee to go in the general intended direction (there had been looping a lot in Emacs 21), the amounts of scrolling are somewhat hard to control. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
