Vertical scrolling of navbar & compared columns, is very jerky / laggy / jumpy. #369

I've recorded animations as a comparision :

ComparePlus 1.1 or dev - jerky, laggy

ComparePlus11

Compare 2.0.2- smooth

Compare202

That is a tradeoff for using another approach for diffs alignment which allows showing the real line numbers in the compared files and also allows keeping the undo history. I'll see if I can make it a bit better but the scrolling for sure cannot be as smooth as that in Compare v2 (again for implementation reasons and Scintilla internals - the Notepad++ editing engine).

Ok, by the way, the same issue happens in UltraCompare, but some other compare tools like Beyond Compare, don't have this issue.
