Description Paisa Seeluangsawat 2008-06-26 10:00:19 UTC 
After scrolling down, I often lose track of where I am on the page.  It takes time to look for the next line of text that I'm supposed to read.  It would be nice to have a visual guide marking the part of the page that overlaps with the previous view.

Xdvi (used to?) do this by flashing a line to show how much of the page has been scrolled.
 
--------------                --------------
| 1. foo bar |		      | 5. foo bar |
| 2. foo bar |    ------->    |------------| << breifly flash this line
| 3. foo bar |    	      | 6. foo bar |
| 4. foo bar |    PageDown    | 7. foo bar |
| 5. foo bar |		      | 8. foo bar |
