I still don't understand what you need ‘scroll-restore-jump-back’ for.
But I have to admit that I don't even remember the purpose of that
option well :-(

I'll attach my latest version of ‘scroll-restore-mode’.  Please try it.
If you confirm that this version works and doesn't break anything else,
I can install the appropriate changes in the elpa version.

Thanks, martin
