Funky cursor behavior

This may be a problem with the GNOME text editor component,
but the cursor has the following problems:

1. It doesn't stay where you put it. When scrolling up or down it jumps to seemingly random positions in each line.

2. When scrolling down, sometimes the page jumps as if page down was hit instead of cursor down (kind of like the pico scrolling behavior where going to the bottom of the screen brings up half a page instead of one line.)

3. In a programmer's editor, the cursor should go where you tell it. This means it should ignore the actual line length (or there should be a toggle).

On a related note, if you open a lot of files, it's difficult to navigate. Instead of those tiny up/down arrows to move through buffers, how about a scrolling list?
