bad idea. to be honest i don't think the precise semantics of the scroll
distance are very important, but it is important that left and right
buttons are near inverses of each other, which means that when
scrolling down, you can easily get back to the last view you saw
without moving the mouse at all.
the only change i think i'd make is that perhaps a right click
should move the text just *below* the mouse position to the
top. that way there wouldn't be a line's worth of "zero-movement"
vertical space at the top of the window - which is particularly
noticeable when the window is only a couple of lines long - in which case
half the scrollbar doesn't react at all to left or right buttons currently.
i'd implement this, but UI changes are controversial.
