I tried this with applications that are not editors/IDEs: Affinity Photo (Image
manipulation), Inkscape (Vector Drawing), TextMaker (Word Processing). None of
these applications showed the behavior. 

I understand that such behavior might be useful – seeing what changes makes
sense.

However, there are difficulties like potentially erratic scroll behavior,
timing of the change (probably one would first scroll, then very shortly after
execute the change?) and the question of how to return to the starting place
and other possible surprises. 
It thus seems to be a costly feature to implement and one that would need
extensive testing.
So I would either wontfix or keep it as a potentially interesting idea on low
priority.
