Well, I routinely select stuff larger that the display port. Certainly, the automatic scroll policy could be improved. IMHO, usual auto scroll rules are: 1. If the selection can be fully displayed, it must be fully displayed. 2. If the selection is larger that the viewport, all the viewport must show selected stuff. 3. The text cursor (the caret) must be visible after *automatic* scroll. Showing also the lines inmmediatly before/after the selection is also desirable, but the criterion to select what to show is a matter of taste. Hope this helps. -- Manuel Collado - http://lml.ls.fi.upm.es/~mcollado
