I see.

The real problem I am trying to solve is scrolling images with large
heights. C-n/C-p and default scrolling jumps over the whole images as
they appear on a single line. It is annoying, especially when the image
is taller than the window height.

I was hoping to use `insert-sliced-image', but this `line-spacing' issue
makes the idea unreliable.
