Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in Binary Ninja on Windows by creating a new view and pasting data repeatedly, then trace the hex-view editing and scrolling entry points. Done means insertion remains stationary until the end of the current view is reached, with a regression test if the relevant test area is found.
