Not totally convinced, yet. 
CTRL+A does place cursor on last page, but doesn't scroll. If you're vision is
correct it should scroll to the last immediately. Not after applying they
change. At least as far I'm concern.

They whole scroll to cursor thing is delicate topic; not totally agreeing with
Mike his opinion. If though moving to area of change makes some sense.

However CTRL+A to followed by language setting scrolling to bottom has no
benefit. Is only a discomfort, disturbing workflow kind of thing. At least
that's how I perceive it.

However this is only a variant of number of those.. where it's always about the
same thing. Sometimes think it should simply not scroll to cursor (it's a user
flaw to change things with cursor on different spot; not something to be
correct programmatically). As they feature isn't to helpful in number of cases
(I would even consider it disturbing).

However someone find surely a case here this rule doesn't hold true :-) Or
there is some room to make argument. But I tend to prefer flip from default.
Don't scroll to cursor, except. Instead of scroll to cursor except.

At least based on limited knowledge (didn't encounter much area why scroll to
cursor makes sense, but maybe not even noticed that because it feels natural en
happens automatically)? So I only get annoyed by my own proposal afterwards :P
