Visual Editor Page Down / over-scrolling Bug

I’m surprised that there were no other posts about this issue, and also that it’s not been fixed yet as it’s been a problem for the last several versions.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In both Pages and Posts, when using the Visual Editor, when editing a long article the following occurs:

When I “page down” using either the page down button on the keyboard, OR when I click the scroll bar to scroll down, it ALWAYS jumps slightly MORE than a page down, which means that I don’t see 2 or more sentences. This makes editing articles significantly inconvenient for several people that I know.

NOTE: Using the scroll bar method only 2 to 4 sentences… but PAGE DOWN does FAR FAR worse… jumping almost to the bottom of long articles… this is the worst part and makes editing a real pain.

See the screenshots to have a better idea on the side bar issue, with page down just imagine that it jumps down 90% of the article.

Screenshots:
1. Shows the before scrolling view, and where people click to do the scroll:

REPLICATION

WORDPRESS INSTALLATION DETAILS
This problem occurs on all WordPress installations I’ve checked, additionally just for the purposes of this post I set up a fresh domain, fresh wordpress install, default theme, no plugins, and no settings changes… just WordPress out of the box.

OPERATING SYSTEM & BROWSERS
Same issue has presented in both Chrome and Firefox

And on multiple computers… not sure of which Windows versions, but at least two of them were Windows 8.1

Many thanks, this has been driving us all crazy for quite some time.
