I had the same issue.

This is especially annoying when you are exporting your window to a
remote host on a slow connection. 

I resolved the issue with the following hack: just hide the text widget,
put the position/point, then show the widget again. This makes the
widget flicker, but it's far better than seeing the whole text
scrolling.

Anyone has a better solution? Am I missing an obvious point? Thanks.


Cheers
