Description

If you have a line with, let's say, 150 chars, but your window is only 80 chars wide, the last 70 chars will be shown on the next line.

If this line is not visible, and you scroll to this line, the pane view will "jump" instead of scroll smoothly.

Emacs version: 25.1.1 smooth-scrolling-20161002.1249

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the smooth scrolling package code to understand how it calculates scroll positions when lines wrap. Look for any assumptions about line lengths and adjust the algorithm to handle wrapped lines smoothly.
