Finally I took the time to look at this.

And I must admit that I like the scrolling behavior of those
editors (when mouse mode is enabled) better.

So... I'm going to accept the patch.

Does anyone have objections against this change in behavior?


(One thing I noticed: with one bump of the scrollwheel,
mcedit scrolls two lines, vim three, and joe four -- when
on a real xterm.  Strangely, when on an Xfce Terminal, each
editor scrolls double the amount: mcedit four, vim six, and
joe eight lines.  Those strides I find too large.)
