Comment (by azaozz):

 Was testing with adding a <span id="wp-caret-position"> before switching
 and removing it right after. Works but has quite a few edge cases which
 make the code pretty complex (and the more complex it is the more edge
 cases pop up).

 > Well, here's another way to do it, and pretty simple.

 It is even simpler, see 29492.2.patch. No need for
 editor.beforeShow/beforeHide, etc.

 Not sure if we want to do that though, 50/50 at the moment. Using the
 scroll ratio comes with a limitation: if there are images or wpViews in
 the post and the user has scrolled past them, the ratio is totally
 unusable. Can be more confusing than not scrolling at all. Also, the
 longer the post, the larger the scroll position error/shift.
