EPM Editor Question

I've just started to use the EPM editor and I have a 
question about how it operates when marking text in
standard mode.  If I mark text lines which are in the
middle of the window, when I complete the mark (when
I release the mouse button), the window scrolls one
direction or the other, placing the marked text either
at the bottom of the window, or the top.  What is the
purpose of this 'feature', and more importantly, is 
there some way to disable it?  I don't like it when 
editors dynamically shift my perspective without my
consent.
