+Redisplay updates the window-start position (if you have not specified
+it explicitly since the previous redisplay) so that point appears on the
+screen.  Nothing except redisplay automatically changes the window-start
+position; if you move point, do not expect the window-start position to
+change in response until after the next redisplay.
