Ok.  A bit of sleep (4 straight hours !) did wonders for my mental
status. 

1) Checking my notes, it seems I interpretted Bug 77303 as saying
   that just clicking back on the upper pane scrolled the lower.
   It seems I skipped step 5.  My apologies.

2) I agree that it would be nice not to scroll in this instance.
   After some double checking it doesn't look like that will break
   anything else.
   The patch is trivial

3) The only other area that appears to have this behavior is walking
   the selection. eg
    a) select A10
    b) freeze panes
    c) page down several times until A11 is no longer on screen
    d) click on A1 and drag to A4
    bottom should not have scrolled yet

    e) hit enter
    bottom scrolls for no good reason
    edit position moves from A1 -> A2

However, before changing either I reviewed why this was added in the
first place.  It seems related to autoscrolling somehow.  I'd rather
not break one thing to fix another.  Does someone with a nice sick
tester sort of mind have some time to play (eg grandma chema ? or
lukeh ? :-)
