scrolling to a line

[Dan Shafer]

FWIW, I don't think that's expected behavior or necessarily good user  
experience design. If there's no "find" then things should stay the  
same. Maybe a beep but a scroll to a phantom location doesn't really  
help me much, doesn't give me any new information.

My $0.02.
