Bug 107803

I don't know about the other two problems, but I was just going to post something about scrolling myself. I noticed the same problem. You start selecting down a page, reach the end of the screen, and it doesn't scroll naturally to keep selecting, as one would expect. I think that's a very important feature to have. Thanks.

SVN commit 606296 by aacid:

Fix "No scrolling when selection reaches border"
