Note that this specific concern (only) is moot, because the mechanism of
automatic scrolling to the last view is implemented to only work when (1) the
last edit author name is saved in the document, and (2) it's the same as the
data of the current user. The reasoning is exactly that the last position is
only of interest to the author, not to others. So - either when there is no
author data (they didn't fill their user name, or stripped that away), or no
current user data, or they are different - the scrolling to the last view will
not happen.
