How do deletes and updates affect fetching of rows?

Suppose user A has issued a select and is sitting scrolling through the first couple of matching rows of 500 matches say. Then user B deletes half of the table including some of the rows user A is looking at and some of the rows that user A has not yet fetched.

What happens when user A wants to get the unfetched rows? Will MySQL know about the state of A's fetching and remove the deleted rows from A's resultset?

Then the same scenario with user B updating rows. This may cause A's WHERE expression to be false when originally it was true and vice versa. Will MySQL reevaluate A's WHERE expression and create a new resultset?

If not, will user A's program be informed that the resultset has changed, for example when FETCH NEXT is called?
