Something weird happens to the scrolling when text is changed programmatically

To replicate:

1. In a document long enough to be scrollable, scroll to the bottom.
2. Type something at the end of the document.
3. Scroll to the top.
4. Select the first word.
5. Click menu Edit → Transformations → Make Upper Case.
6. The document will now scroll to the bottom, where text was last typed.

The “Make Upper Case” is only an example. I have a lots of scripts changing text through the OS's accessibility features, and they all behave the same.

  I'll have to dig in to find fix, but it sounds like these routines bypass the standard way I capture the editing range to ensure proper scrolling.

   

  Thanks for pointing this out!

  Thank you for looking into it! Also note that this was not a problem in MultiMarkdown Composer 4.
