Description

Scrolling through a document (by either using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel) has become very slugish this week. I don't know if this is caused by a change in micro or on my system sadly...

I suspect micro is the cause, because a cli app like ncmpcpp scrolls smoothly.

Using newest micro.

Research direction

Start by reproducing sluggish scrolling in the micro CLI with both arrow keys and the mouse wheel, using the newest version mentioned in the issue. Compare the behavior with ncmpcpp as a reference for smooth terminal scrolling. Done means document scrolling is smooth again; the issue does not name a file or test to inspect.
