The fix for this doesn’t sound like something you’re going to knock 
out in a few hours, but is there any progress or anything else we can do 
in the short term? This is driving me nuts.

I’ve been working on some code for a client with pretty long lines. 
Switching to a document scrolls more than a page, and it’s not obvious 
which direction it went. So I don’t know exactly how far away the 
current line is, and I don’t know which way to look.

I’ve found that ⌃L seems to work once the view has stabilized, but 
that gets old fast. Now I’m experimenting with just turning soft-wrap 
off. We’ll see how that goes. (The code for this particular project is 
unreadable anyway. 😛)
