Effectively it does, because when you press the 'up' key after scrolling the cursor is at the
scrolled position. Kate may handle the cursor differently internally (and change the cursor
position only when the user presses the key), but for the user this is not obvious.

No. If i position the cursor in the top of a long document, scrolls to the bottom using the scrollbar, and the moves either arrow, (<-, -> up, down), the cursor is moved one atom, and the document is scrolled back, so that it is visible. Just like it should be... -anders Subject: Re: Update the statusbar line number while scrolling

hmm, here pressing up don't change the pos to the current scrollpos, and I
don't think that scrolling changes cursor pos, not only not internally but it
does in no other editor, too, that would just be even more confusing, a nice
popup would show that much better with some "line 323 - 356" on screen

You're right about kate, did something wrong while testing. But emacs moves the cursor as you
scroll, the cursor never leaves the visible area.
