For posterity, a partial fix for this behavior has been merged through
my commit patch in e62d1fa9831cc4f046b330f438f8bd49a27a2458.

There is still one scenario which IMHO deserves to be fixed before we
can close this: double-clicking inside the scroll-margin area turns the
double-click into a double-click+scroll (or triple+scroll).

This happens because the click-count is handled at the term level, and
doesn't see that the "logical" click coordinate has been shifted as a
result of the scroll.

The scrolling in this case should also reset the current click count.
