Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

First of all, let's define the two autoscroll cursors. There is the black arrow,
which should move with the mouse, and the white blob, which should appear where
autoscroll is turned on and stay there. If one turns on autoscroll, then uses
the arrow keys to scroll, the black arrow stays still and the white blob starts
moving in the opposite direction of scroll (arrow key down makes blob move up,
vice versa).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page whose height or width exceeds that of your browser.
2. Turn autoscroll on.
3. Use the arrow keys to scroll.

Actual Results:  
Autoscroll stays on, and the black arrow cursor stays still, while the white
blob moves in the opposite direction of scroll.

Expected Results:  
Autoscroll should probably turn off in such a case.

I've thought some more about expected results, and a better one would be to have
autoscroll stay on, the white blob stay still, and the arrow keys moving the
black arrow.
