Scrolling up with the arrow key causes Visual Studio to page up
If you go to the bottom of a C# file that has more than one screen/page of text in it, when you scroll up using the up arrow key, when it gets to the top of the screen/window pane, it does page up, making the screen jump and causing confusion. I don't remember this behavior in versions of VS before 15.8. Is this a bug? If this is intentional, is there a way to turn it off. It is very annoying and very jarring.

One thing that I noticed is that sometimes text at the top of the editor pane won't necessarily be fully visible. I.e. you might only be able to see half of the character vertically. When you cursor onto that line, it triggers a page up. I don't know if that is relevant or not.
I just noticed the same issue working in the C++ editor. I updated to 15.8 yesterday.
Thank you for your feedback! In order for us to investigate this further, could you please ban it all after the third-party plug-in to see whether it can reproduce it ?or Could you try launch VS use safe mode (devenv /safemode), does it still repro? We look forward to hearing from you!
The exact same thing here, and i do not have any 3rd party plugins installed. It is very disruptive.
Thank you for your feedback! Could you please export and send setting files to us.
You can get setting files with following steps:
1) Tools -> Import and Export Settings.
2) Export selected environment settings
Also you can try to reset your settings and check does it still repro?We look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for your feedback! For us to investigate this further, could you please help check where is your cursor when you go to the bottom of a C# file and press up arrow key? We look forward to hearing from you!
When scrolling down, the cursor stays at the first character of the last line, however when scrolling up, it got to the end of each line, but only as long as the last character is either a closing curly brace or a semi colon, regardless whether the line is commented out or not.
Please note that this problem happens only when there is a method that is not showing fully - some of it is further up. The problem will not occur when scrolling through empty lines between methods for example.
Case 1: if the cursor is located in the beginning of the line, it scrolls normally
Case 2: if the cursor is anywhere else, it does not scroll normally
Case 3 (this is a bit more complex) : the cursor is at the begining of the line, and i scroll up normally, but not enough for the whole method to appear, there are still a few more lines. if i keep the cursor inside the method, move it someplace else within the same line, let's say in the middle, then it will scroll normally - apparently since it started scrolling normally within the method. However, if the cursor leaved the method body (scrolling down) and re-enter (not in the beginning) the problem reappears.
Hope that helps.
Really bugs me a lot. Things I find hard to believe: 1) no one in the q&a team ran into that bug 2) that it seems to take several releases to fix the bug (15.8.4 obviously did not fix it, and it's rumored that even 15.9 will not fix it).
It's technically off-topic. But agree with you. It's maybe a year ago when I got into a "bug-spiral". With every VS release I hope some bugs are fixed (and it happens) but instantly new ones are introduced... :( Something must be wrong. It's also a warn sign for my project - it is very easy to introduce a bug even with good intention of refactor/improvement.
Still broken in 15.8.5 :( So at least another week with this super-annoying bug...
Super-annoying is an understatement! Nerve wracking is more proper i think...
The fix for this is now in our latest Visual Studio Preview release. If you'd like to try out the fix, you can access the preview build here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/
Hi Fiona, Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, it seems to be OK in 15.9 Preview 3.

Thank you! You're a lifesaver. It took a lot of tweaking to find the right size, but it works.
Adjusting the Visual Studio window height works for me too, however it is not really a solution...

Hey, good news!
I have version 15.8.6, and it shows the problem.
Which version do you have?
