Which avoidance setting do you use? I tried animate, but the behavior
is not as frustrating as you say.
The problem with mouse-avoidance-mode is that it's a global minor mode,
so disabling it only for doc-view buffers doesn't work. I could
deactivate it temporally while slicing with the mouse, but that doesn't
help much and works only around the real problem:
mouse-avoidance-mode makes no sense and is irritating in buffers where
point isn't visible like image-mode or doc-view.
Bye,
