[squeak-dev] stepping in small panes

Hi all,

When debugging on a small screen and a larger font, block expressions can
easily overrun the size of the text pane.  Currently when stepping,
selecting a stack frame, clicking Where -- anything that changes the text
selection, it positions you to the bottom.

Unfortunately, this makes debugging cumbersome, because I need to see the
beginning of the selection instead of the end, to know what I'm stepping
through.

I use soft wrap, so don't face any issue along the horizontal dimension,
but for the same principle, Morphic-cmm.1614 treats it similarly.

Before:

What do you think?  Preference-worthy?

Best,
  Chris
