bug#28342: 26.0.50; (OSX) Jumpy Scrolling using Trackpad

[Alan Third]

I can replicate on ms windows using just:

(setq scroll-margin 5)

(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position 1)

(setq mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(1))

Open a large file. Make sure you're at the start of the file

M-<

Scroll down with the mouse wheel and within a few clicks point jumps to the middle of the screen. A few more and it jumps to the end of the file.

The cursor jumps from within the scroll-margins to end of file and back and forth.

Some of those settings can probably be removed but scroll-margin is probably important.
