Description Kevin Dangoor CLA 2011-09-22 11:54:57 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

When extending a selection, editors will make part of the selection visible. Orion does not appear to do that.

This bug corresponds to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687568 in Mozilla's bugzilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste in a large file (say https://raw.github.com/documentcloud/backbone/master/backbone.js)
2. Select the first three lines
3. Scroll down a page with the scroll bar
4. press shift-pgdn to extend the selection

in other editors, some of the selection will be visible.

I see, the textview is scrolling page down from the current vertical offset instead of moving to the selection end and going from there.
