But you change a large part of the behavior of the scroll bar.  The request
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57956) clearly says that the idea is that
the scroll bar shows both the position in the file and the *portion* of the
file being displayed in the window -- like my original patch does.  That is
also how the scroll bar in a graphical program behaves: the "thing" becomes
smaller the larger the file is; and when the whole file is on the screen,
the "thing" occupies the full height of the window.  But with your patch,
this "thing" is always the same size: one little block.
