Public bug reported:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document large enough to be scrollable
2. Click to place the cursor
3. Scroll away
4. Tap ↑↓
Expected behaviour:
The window should snap back to a scroll position containing the place which the
cursor was left at
Actual behaviour:
The cursor appears at the top/bottom of the current scroll position
The only other text editor I've ever seen with this bug/misfeature is
Vim, which has it as a side-effect of visibly dragging the cursor along
as you scroll.
I don't want to have to choose between...
1. Retraining my muscle memory to use ←→
2. Keeping an old Leafpad build around
3. Maintaining my own fixed fork of Leafpad
4. Putting up with the extra bulk of Mousepad for uses where a programmer's
text editor is unnecessary... especially when I'm shrinking it down to a tiny
square (below the size Mousepad's longer menu allows) for use as a
taskbar-visible sticky note.
