Here are the instructions to reproduce the behavior:

1. emacs -q --no-site-file

2. M-x set-variable -> Set variable: scroll-step -> Set scroll-step to
value: 1

3. M-x M-f -> Find file: <Any file you want>
   Preferably use a longer file with long lines

4. If necessary, resize the window to get continuation lines

5. Use the down-arrow key to scroll through the file

You will see that whenever the cursor reaches a line that has continuation
lines that are off the screen, the screen will skip those continuation lines
and recenter itself.

I feel that correct behavior is that emacs should scroll the buffer down by
the number that is set in scroll-step, regardless of what type of line it
is. Which means that in this case, when reaching a continuation line that is
off the screen, the buffer should be scrolled by one line and shouldn't be
recentered.
