In any textview, any browser, -have a big file open in the textview -scroll to center of the file -click on the center of client area and hold the button down -move mouse outside the client area to the top and hold it there for a few second so that the textview scrolls up a few pages selecting text -now, without releasing the button, move the mouse outside the client area to the bottom the textview will switch direction and start scrolling down and un selects the text previously selected. but note is it weird: the textview scroll a page, then it *stops scrolling* and unselects text line per line, then scroll another page, and start again till the view scroll passed the selection anchor. it should never stop scrolling. the problem also happens in the opposition direction, scroll down first and up.
This happens because auto scroll uses setSelection() to scroll the page. setSelection() uses showCaret() to scroll, showCaret when scroll tries to fit in the client area as much of selection as possible.

I changed the internal _showCaret() to scroll to show only the caret and do not try to show as much as the selection as possible - except when the called from the showSelection() API.
