Description
I've noticed that when scrolling the Markdown and Rendered panes are not in sync, so you can be in completely different places in the same file on each window.

Research direction
Start by locating the Markdown and Rendered pane implementations and their scrolling handlers. Reproduce the issue with the same file in both panes, then trace how each pane maps scroll positions; done means scrolling keeps corresponding content aligned.
