Yes, they do not scroll.

This is an overview gutter. It represents the entire file. (the current 
visible part is shaded grey)

That is why this feature lived "IFDEF" hidden, for a long time.

But I got some feedback, that it was already usable to some. So I made 
it available. It has an option, so you can switch it off.

Someday, it will be extended...

Yes. And that scrolls with the lines.

Scroll and watch the shaded grey.

You can see as you gt to a bookmark/breakpoint. Or (most usable to me)
