When I scroll up or down, Emacs automatically recenters the current position of point. I tried to disable this behavior by adding the following code to my configuration:

(setq scroll-margin 1
      scroll-conservatively 10000
      scroll-up-aggressively 0.01
      scroll-down-aggressively 0.01
      auto-hscroll-mode nil
      scroll-step 1)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I really tried all variables I can find.

NB: I am using AUCTeX and emacsclient.

    Read the doc strings for scroll-step and scroll-conservatively and choose one or the other. I suggest you try Emacs -Q and set scroll-conservatively to 101 and see if you like it -- without any other settings. Then perhaps add scroll-margin if you want scrolling before reaching the window edges. My understanding is 101 and a billion trillion have the same effect. – lawlist Jun 1 '15 at 17:06

    In fact, I tested without emacsclient, it works (no auto scrolling), but when i start emacs with emacs --daemon and then use emacsclient, even I've checked with C-h C-v that the scroll-conservatively is set to 101 (or sth big), it does auto scroll to center always. – seb Jun 1 '15 at 17:18

This variable preserves both the point and the screen position when scrolling:

(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position 'always)
