No, this is wrong.
The slider's size represents the size of the displayed text -- in characters
-- in relation to the size of the entire buffer. As different portions of a
the buffer can have different displayed sizes (e.g., a screenful of a part of
the buffer with very long lines may have many more characters than a
screenful containing only newlines), this means that the slider can change
size as you move it.
