I noticed that by a quick test: Viewing a document with only a handfull
pages (in order to give an example let's say four pages) has the side
effect when switching to the last page the page selection panel is
scrolled down without any need.

As I am not sure if the patch is suitable for a release, I attached at
to the savannah bug report. Furthermore I'll install a GNU gv with this
patch to get information about it's problems and to see whether it is
fit enough to be released.
