Research direction

Start by tracing the automatic scrolling entry point and how FixedHeader exposes its fixed elements and fnGetSettings().oMes. Account for the fixed top, left, right, and bottom dimensions and the table position when calculating the new scroll position; done means bScroll works correctly alongside FixedHeader.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In order to make automatic scrolling, the fixed columns/rows (top, left, right, bottom) of FixedHeader need to be accounted for in the calculation of the new scroll position.

Since each of the fixed elements is wrapped inside a div it's is easy to determine its dimension. In addition to the dimension the position of the table needs to be accounted for. fnGetSettings().oMes of fixed header could be the right source, I think.
