Sorry for no response. 

Yes, submitting patch to review board is always the preferred way.

As for the patch itself, I actually made similar analysis after posting comment
#1, and I thought the first and real problem was why
ScreenWindow::setSelectionStart() was ever called, which should not happen
IMHO, to reset the start point of selection during scrolling up.  My little
hack was setting 'swapping' to false in force in the case of triple clicking
and scrolling, and it seemed to work. Anyway, it was just hack and I didn't
make further investigation.

In general, I feel the real problem is not in those setSelectionStart() methods
themselves, but in how and when they are called. So changing the internal logic
of those methods might be dangerous and cause new regressions.
