Description
When a buffer is horizontally scrolled to the right with the trackpad, as soon as the end of the line is reached the text bounces back to the left. If one keeps scrolling, the text bounces back repeatedly. Would it be possible to make it more stable, i.e., when the far right is reached, the text should not move?
I attach a screenshot to illustrate the issue.

Research direction
Reproduce the trackpad behavior described in the issue and use the attached screenshot as the reference for the bounce. Trace MacVim's horizontal scrolling handling to find why reaching the far right moves the text left again. Done means continued rightward scrolling leaves the buffer stable at the line end without repeated bouncing.
