 As I am editing code in the Appearance Editor main textarea called
 newcontent, the scrollbar slider will jump upward to a new position moving
 the current line being edited down.

 On a vista machine using ie8 with wp3.0.1 and the 2010 theme, a single
 character stroke will move the scrollbar up 3 lines.

 On an xp machine using ie8 with wp3.0.1 and a custom theme, a single
 character stroke will move the scrollbar up 8 lines.  Ocasionally the
 scrollbar will only move 1 line and every keystroke will bring the down.
 Pasting text can and often does bring the line being edited below the
 visible area of the textarea.

 It is very frustrating when it jumps around like this.
