Each of these new features has a preference option to enable/disable it. So, if you don't want windows brought to front when you click them in the VS view, just disable the preference. Also, the auto-scrolling is activated when the mouse cursor enters the very last pixel in any dimension - so, you won't have any trouble accessing things on the screen while when they are actiavted.
