I'm hazarding a guess that the page count field updates based on a
timer (say, every second), causing a state change, which causes a
recount. I didn't know that a recount causes the view to scroll to the
cursor, but it might be happening because of trying to count the
number of selected words.

Can you share the bug once you open it? I'd like to investigate this
in connection with word counting.
