Actual Results
When users issue the voice commands "Scroll Down" or "Scroll Up" while navigating a code content, the viewport scrolls by an excessive amount and skips intermediate lines of code. For example, when lines 1 to 36 are visible, the "Scroll Down" command causes the view to begin at line 45 skipping lines 37 to 44 while the "Scroll Up" command may similarly bypass adjacent content. to navigate to the skipped code lines the user have to provide a additional command called "Move up", "Move down" 5 times to find the skipped content.
As a result, users relying on speech input or page-by-page scrolling lose reading context and miss critical information.
Expected Results
When users issue the voice commands “Scroll Down” or “Scroll Up” while navigating a code content, the viewport should scroll with proper continuity relative to the currently visible content. For example, when lines 1–36 are visible, a "Scroll Down" command should display the next set of lines beginning at or near line 36 or 37, ensuring that lines 37–44 are not skipped. Similarly, a "Scroll Up" command should reveal the immediately preceding lines without omitting any content.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
