/**
* The SmartScroller will attempt to keep the viewport positioned based on
* the users interaction with the scrollbar. The normal behaviour is to keep
* the viewport positioned to see new data as it is dynamically added.
*
* Assuming vertical scrolling and data is added to the bottom:
*
* - when the viewport is at the bottom and new data is added,
* then automatically scroll the viewport to the bottom
* - when the viewport is not at the bottom and new data is added,
* then do nothing with the viewport
*
* Assuming vertical scrolling and data is added to the top:
*
* - when the viewport is at the top and new data is added,
* then do nothing with the viewport
* - when the viewport is not at the top and new data is added, then adjust
* the viewport to the relative position it was at before the data was added
*
* Similiar logic would apply for horizontal scrolling.
