[Feature Request] MultiEdit Line Scroll Issues

[H8to]

Version

Teletype 0.1.2

Please describe the bug.

1. Person B works on line 2
2. Person A works on line 200
3. When B is adding new lines the view of A does scroll upwards as new lines are added.

This adds confusion if multiple people edit text on different areas of the document.

Expected

Instead it should just count up the line numbers on the left.

You can see the wished behaviour if person A is typing very fast while person B is adding line feeds.

[as-cii]

Thanks for taking the time to report this, @H8to. I can reproduce this locally and I agree it's a pretty annoying behavior, especially when editing a completely different area of the buffer. Ideally, the viewport of the local editor should not change as a consequence of remote edits.

As we prioritize future work, we'll be looking at feedback issues like this one to determine where we can deliver the most benefit with the available engineering resources (i.e., full-time Atom engineers, community maintainers, and new contributors).

In the meantime, if this is an enhancement that would make you smile each time you use Teletype, adding a 👍 emoji reaction to the issue body is a great way to let us know.
