[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm sending a patch for lisp/pixel-scroll.el.

This patch lets mouse wheel scroll vertically by number of pixels
returned by `frame-char-height' as suggested as below.

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg00385.html

Also, by considering response of display engine as suggested as below,
this patch offers stable vertically scrolling even when window is
horizontally scrolled.

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-10/msg00621.html

ChangeLog entry and patch to NEWS also are attached.

2017-10-21 Tak Kunihiro <tkk <at> misasa.okayama-u.ac.jp>

        Scroll vertically by number of pixels returned by `frame-char-height' with or without horizontally scrolled

        * lisp/pixel-scroll.el (pixel-resolution-fine-flag): When t, scroll pixels returned by `frame-char-height'.
        (pixel-scroll-up): Scroll by `frame-char-height'. Fix algorithm to move cursor to avoid unexpected jump.
        (pixel-scroll-down): Scroll by `frame-char-height'.
        (pixel-bob-at-top-p): Consider number of pixels that is about to scroll.
        (pixel-posn-y-at-point): Consider existence of an overlay string.  Return nil when horizontally scrolled.
        (pixel-point-at-top-p): Consider number of pixels that is about to scroll. Use different algorithm when horizontally scrolled.
        (pixel-point-at-bottom-p): Consider number of pixels that is about to scroll. Return nil when horizontally scrolled.
        (pixel-scroll-pixel-down): Move cursor when horizontally scrolled.
        (pixel--whistlestop-line-up): Change cosmetics and move cursor when horizontally scrolled.
        (pixel-line-height): Call `pixel-visual-line-height' instead of `line-pixel-height'.
        (pixel-visual-line-height): New function to return height in pixels of text line where cursor is with or without horizontally scrolled, considering response of display engine.
        (pixel-visible-pos-in-window): New function to return position of a char shown on text line where cursor is on screen with or without horizontally scrolled.

Thanks, I pushed it to the emacs-26 branch.

Please in the future make sure the 1st line of the doc string is not
longer than 79 characters, and is a full sentence.

Also, please fill the lines in the log entry to be shorter than 75
characters, not including the leading whitespace.  And include the bug
number in the log message.

(I modified your patch to fix all those issues.)

I didn't install this part, because pixel-scroll-mode is a new mode
and is mentioned as such in NEWS.  So everything about it is "new",
and there's no need to mention individual changes.
