LPEX kept the CODE Editor behaviour in regard to keeping the cursor
inside the current screen. It has some advantages (e.g., when scrolling
you see the line number for the current screen, so it's easy to stop in
the desired area), and disadvantages (stream selections cannot be
maintained when scrolling)...

There is a TODO to provide the alternative behaviour, but it's not the
highest priority.

Thanks for the responses.

I see what you mean. If I highlight some code then scroll after the
selection has been made, if the highlighted code goes off the screen,
it's no longer selected.

However, I don't really find this to be acceptable behavior as it
seems counterintuitive to the environment.

Also, all character selections I'm aware of involve the Alt key
(Alt-R, Alt-Z, Alt-U), so it seems inconsistent that Ctl-A would be in

that list of character selections.
