I want to configure Emacs to scroll my buffer without moving point, even if it goes off-screen. In my current setup, when I do (scroll-up 4) for long enough, my point will eventually be moved to keep it within the visible buffer.

I want to change this because idle-highlight will color in a symbol for me and I want to see its occurrence. When I scroll far enough, my point is moved just before it would go off-screen and idle-highlight backs off. How can I change this?

I'm using Emacs 24.
