I use the arrow keys do a mouse scroll up. With mouse scroll up, the
position of the cursor moves as the window gets updated.

If the point stays at same screen coordinates, or moves with the text;
the point still moves from its original position (originally positioned
after parenthesis of interest). Have noticed that when I scroll, the
cursor point always shown up in the window.

Let there be a long function, and you put the cursor at the point following
the last parenthesis. With "show-paren-style" being expression, the function
code get highlighted. Suppose I want to go to the beginning of the function
which resides outside the window pane. The highlighting is disabled as I go
to the beginning of the function.

I would like the possibility of freezing the highlighting (not only when using
'expression put also for 'parenthesis). Currently I loose all the parenthesis
or expression highlighting when I need to move through the code.
