No, this is just a cleanup - it won't change any behavior.

The cursor keys will scroll the mapview, but as you point out, they 
don't work perfectly.  In non-iso view this is because of some very 
long-standing (and hard to fix) bugs in the mapview code; in iso view 
it's because the system doesn't work well when aligned to a tile (it 
could be easily fixed by aligning the mapview to a pixel).
