this is my biggest usability gripe with Gnumeric.  it happens very
often when I want to select a range of data larger than can fit on the
screen.  if you try to do this using the mouse, it will suddenly shoot
off and start jumping 5000 rows at a time.  considering that the
spreadsheet often has no more than a hundred rows, this behaviour
seems silly :-)

the workaround is to use the keyboard, of course.
