[count] k not working properly

[xged]

[count] k does not behave as expected. Often it moves up (sometimes down) the lines pretty randomly.
The lowest [count] I could produce this behavior with was 6.

:normal [count]k works fine.

I cannot reproduce it, what is your evil version ? (suffix of the directory name in ~/.emacs.d/elpa)

I tested with the last one 20150411.1336 and I cannot reproduce your issue.

I'm on 20150423.349 and I have the same bug. It seems like sometimes when [count] k would cause the screen to scroll up, it scrolls up the correct amount but then sets the cursor to the center of the window. I also couldn't reproduce with [count] < 6, which I think is because scroll-margin seems to be set to 5 (but I can't find where that is coming from because help says that scroll-margin is set to 0

I can reproduce with smooth-scrolling enabled and the point is at the top the page.

[xged]

version 0.104.0: I can reproduce it just with [count] > 10 now. Smooth-scrolling is enabled (by default).

Reproducible on
Emacs 25.0.50.2
Spacemacs: master (0.104.2)
evil: 20151027.3

And it's surely about visible part of buffer. I've zoomed up as much as I could with readable linum-relative, to test on bigger counts, it still bugs out.

I was deleting lines so that I would have point at the topmost, and this way I had always seen this bug on anything more than 5k (it is not nearly as consistent if just plainly scrolling same way, without setting point into this margin). My smooth scroll is on and it's value is 5. And bug limit follows change in this variable. Disabling smooth scroll gets rid of the bug.

Can confirm. I can type 100k and it'll go up 5 lines (my setup displays 100 lines at a time).

May be fixed in develop since we don't use the smooth-scrolling package anymore.

I cannot reproduce it in develop.
