It should be possible to scroll in the preview section, and then keep typing for more than one page length without any problems.

Which browser are you using? What is the bahaviour you're seeing? Does the preview "reset" to the top scrolling position?

Glad you like it :)

Yes of course, that works, but you have to scroll manually.

Maybe I don't write the way other people do, and that's why I need automatic sync and most people don't: I don't write linearly, I write "all over the place".

I constantly go up and down a document when I'm writing something: what's getting written at the bottom impacts what was written at the top. Also I think of better ways of saying something once I've written it, and once I do I need to make changes.

If, every time I change sections, I need to scroll the preview, it's incredibly distracting/annoying (or, useless: but then it's better to have no preview at all).

Also, once a document is of any serious length (say, over 3 pages), finding the part where you are in the preview can get a little difficult.
