setValue() emits $blockScrolling = Infinity warning

[bazineta]

When using setValue(), the following warning is issued:

Automatically scrolling cursor into view after selection change this will be disabled in the next version set editor.$blockScrolling = Infinity to disable this message

I'm a bit confused as to what this is trying to tell me, as I'm calling a documented API, and it's in turn telling me to call an undocumented one.

I'm also interested in why it's being deprecated.

For the curious, this seems to be the commit where it was deprecated: 8c1aa5c.

Unclear, but I think I saw hints that it is getting replaced with another feature.

(We use this feature, but we have to monkey patch our own calculations because (horrors) we are doing the parent-scroll thing.)

I am having the same problem, using setValue() shows the same error message to me, even if $blockscrolling = Infinity is set.

Automatically scrolling cursor into view after selection change this will be disabled in the next version set editor.$blockScrolling = Infinity to disable this message

            // Initiate ACE Editor
            var textarea = $(this);
            var mode = textarea.data('editor');
            var editDiv = $('<div>', {
                position: 'absolute',
                width: '100%',
                height: textarea.height(),
                'class': textarea.attr('class')
            }).insertBefore(textarea);
            textarea.css('display', 'none');
            var editor = ace.edit(editDiv[0]);
            editor.getSession().setValue(textarea.val());
            editor.getSession().setMode("ace/mode/" + mode);
            editor.setTheme("ace/theme/chrome");
            editor.setOptions({
                autoScrollEditorIntoView: false,
                wrapBehavioursEnabled: false,
                showLineNumbers: true,
            });
            editor.$blockScrolling = Infinity;

            // Copy ACE Editor Content into Textarea and trigger Change
            editor.getSession().on('change', function () {
                textarea.val(editor.getSession().getValue());
                textarea.trigger('change');
            });

            textarea.val( editor.getSession().getValue());

If I uncomment the editor.getSession().setValue(textarea.val()); line, no error message is showing.
