Over the weekend a friend (correctly) pointed out that kinetic deceleration with VTE looked like it was slightly jank at the very end of the animation. This was due to a 1:n mapping of display units to pixels on HiDPI.
It's indeed the same situation I ran into with GtkTextView but in that case I can't fix it until an ABI break for GTK 5.
This patch allows getting closer to pixel boundaries and therefore smooths that up. Very perceptible once you notice it.
