I can see two reasons for the current behaviour:

1. It used to be that scrolling was slower than normal movement.
Scrolling by a chunk at a time makes the editior more responsive.
2. When jumping about in the file (say using search), you want the
found occurrence centered, not at the bottom/top.

How does your code deal with this issues?

They do not appear to have reached the list.
I believe that they would go through now that one of your messages has
been accepted.

The pango frontend is "experimental", so I would not worry too much about it.
