So you press and hold the left mouse button when the mouse pointer is
near the bottom of the window, and then move the mouse upward, is that
right?

Please show me the entire contents of the buffer in this case.  "In
the middle of a buffer" is too ambiguous for me to try to reproduce
this.

I tried with the text you sent with the report, not with Hebrew.

Yes, thanks.
