Gee, I do not know that I would classify this as a bug. I seem to remember
that this is the standard behavior on the word processing applications I have
used on the Mac, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same help for PM on PC's.
Just because a user is scrolling, is it really the correct thing to do to move
the insertion cursor to some arbitrary spot? I do not have really strong
feelings about this, but once I got used to it on the Mac, it seemed like the
correct behavior.
