 emphasis

Hello,

I am forwarding the following bug report from Org mailing list
(https://orgmode.org/list/CA+FzMhahT16w5KPi3hgq8Gn7wnb+PjcNuS_ULk_jroGLHBVBaw <at> mail.gmail.com)
It appears to be related to Emacs.
I can also reproduce on my side and I have seen similar scrolling quirks
myself in the daily usage.

-------------

To reproduce this:
1. Load the repro emacs settings.
2. Scroll down in a buffer, such that top of buffer is not visible on
screen.
3. Create an emphasized word at the beginning of the 2nd visual-line in a
visually-wrapped line.
4. Move your point to the start of that emphasized word

It's a little difficult to describe, so I'll give an example. Assume
that the visual-line wrapping is happening at the place indicated by
"$".

```
So, if this were one long line, then this is the first visual line,$
/whereas/ this is the second visual line in the paragraph, and you'd place$
point on the italicized "w" in the word "whereas". That triggers the bug.
```

What happens next is that emacs thinks the point is no longer on screen
and tries to scroll to fix that. Under vanilla emacs, it will just
recenter the point. This still is misbehaving but not terribly. However,
with
smooth-scrolling as mentioned above, the behavior is worse. The window
scrolls up and point jumps to the top of the window.

Reproed this with the following: emacs -Q
with the following:
```
(setq org-hide-emphasis-markers t)

(org-mode)
(visual-line-mode 1)

;; Without this, emacs will still show bug by calling recenter, but the
effect is particularly egregious with these settings (i.e. smooth scrolling)
(setq scroll-conservatively 101
      scroll-preserve-screen-position t
      scroll-margin 0)
```

Best,
Ihor
