That was sort of intentional for the time being as it help to fix one
part of the the problem at a time. Right now the main goal was to get
paragraph breaking and cursor movement right. Selecting the correct y
position is fairly orthogonal to this.

But if you found that it's barely usable work on the other side could
begin...

In hindsight you are propably right. It didn't really occur to me that
we sometimes view positions far from the cursor (scrolling with
non-following cursor, I don't do that. From this POV 'fitCursor' is
superfluous as the cursor alwways fits per definition.

So we should not/cannot use the _cursor_ as primary information but
something like your 'anchor position' (maybe just outer paragraph index
+ small y offset  instead of a full DocIterator).
