Re: The unwarranted scrolling assumption

    Thanks. Perhaps. I just set it to 'always but Emacs still do the
    "jumping scrolling".

    However not always. And that makes it even more frustrating. I feel
    like a prey. Suddenly it jumps - and I do not know why and when.

    Is that jumping expected?

    I am not sure which option you mean. Could you please tell me?

This seems to work well, Lennart:

(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position 'always
      scroll-conservatively           most-positive-fixnum
      scroll-step                     0)
