Typewriter scrolling doesn't always work on long paragraphs #414

I think it's a bug, and it doesn't happen all the time, that is with all long paragraphs. It seems to happen with the first long paragraph in a text. Sometimes when I have an idea I just write it all down without breaking the paragraph, and after a couple of times I noticed that I wasn't really seeing the typewriter scrolling feature, which is so nice in WM; I was actually just writing at the bottom of the window, like you do on every other word processor. So I went to config to see if the scroll was OFF, it wasn't; I then put the caret in a middle position and locked the scroll there, thinking that maybe it had somehow got changed. But then I realised that with the long paragraph it just didn't want to scroll like a typewriter. If I press return and create a new paragraph, then the scrolling returns with that second paragraph. Otherwise, it just works like a normal word processor, unfortunately. Even if I create a small first paragraph (like a title, for example) the behaviour stays the same. It's as if the first long paragraph in a text will trigger this bug.

I've made a gif video showing the behaviour.

I have tried many times to kill the typewriter scrolling bugs, but they always seem to crawl back somehow. Maybe ts needs a complete rewrite 🤔 i.

Well, I'm satisfied that it's not an issue with mine only or that I'm doing something wrong 😁 Really, it's a small bother one can easily overlook when the software has so many pros. So, as always, thanks a lot for your great work!
