The latest snapshot has the beginnings of a fix for this.  It seems to
work ok as long as line wrap doesn't occur at the end of the scroll
region.  Fixing that is going to be harder (actually the whole fix to
get this working reliably is pretty hard).  So, a complete fix probably
won't be in 1.3.13.

Thanks for the bug report.
