I am not clear how XXE manages it's caret position/insertion point, but 
when I scroll through a document using the scroll bars, the insertion 
point changes. I find this counter-intuitive and irritating. Is it a 
function of my stylesheets or configuration or is it fundamental to XXE? 
can it be changed?

Two examples of where it keeps biting me:
1. I am editing a document containing lots of text (e.g. docbook). I 
scroll up or down to view some other part of the document and when I 
resume typing the new text is inserted at some almost random point 
instead of where I was typing before.

2. In a long text node (e.g. a docbook programlisting element), I 
position the caret at the start of some text, scroll down and 
shift-click at the end. All the text on the screen becomes highlighted, 
but when I select copy I find that I have no more than the screenful 
because the start point has moved.
