It isn't when you make the "don't show the cursor feature" available from
Elisp.

Currently, when I highlight the region and scroll the original position
of `point' off-screen (using `scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll'), the region
changes.  When I scroll the original position back on-screen, the region
is hardly where it was before.

The display engine would not show the cursor in that case.
