See http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETYCARETPOLICY for why the options are different: if the caret slop is set to 0 and CARET_STRICT is set, it would keep the caret centered, which is not what we want. So use Scintilla's default unless we set the caret slop to something non-zero, in which case these additional flags keep it working the same, but adding an unwanted zone near the top and bottom edges.
