Description
Hi,
I noticed MacDown's preview pane gets desynchronized from the editor either when
A) defining a lot of titles, but no text in between, e.g.
# some title
## a first subtitle
## a second subtitle
## ...
or
B) when using reference-style image syntax, e.g.
![varying_b][]
[...]
<!--- bottom of file below -->
[varying_b]:data:image/png;base64,{some lengthy Base64 data}

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the desynchronization in MacDown with the consecutive-heading example and the reference-style image example, then trace the editor-to-preview synchronization and Markdown handling. Done means both examples keep the preview aligned with the editor.
