Description
If you scroll down or up past the cursor, the cursor is still left where it was, so if you press it will jump.
The cursor should stay at the top or bottom of the window when you scroll paste the current viewable area.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mouse-scrolling behavior in VS Code with the VSCodeVim extension, then trace the extension's handling of mouse scrolling and cursor position. Done means scrolling beyond the visible area leaves the cursor at the top or bottom of the window, and pressing Esc no longer causes an unexpected jump.
