Description

It seems that scroller doesn't work very well with ajax reload.

I have been able to prepare an example of the issues I am facing at http://live.datatables.net/lukacupe/1/edit .

When I reload the data when the table is scrolled to the bottom the begin of the count at the info footer doubles its value.

Otherwise, if I scroll to the middle of the table and then I reload the data the info keeps the same pagination information but the table can not be scrolled upwards.

Research direction

Start with the linked live.datatables.net example and reproduce both ajax reload cases: reloading at the bottom and reloading from the middle of the table. Trace the Scroller behavior around retained scroll position and footer pagination information, then verify that both reload scenarios preserve correct scrolling and counts.
