Chosen solution

This could be related to the "caret browsing" feature, which moves the cursor through the page when you scroll with the arrow key. Or maybe in this case skips around things in the page.

You can turn that using either:

  • F7 key
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > uncheck the box for "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Any luck?
