We had a similar topic about caret position a #23096. But it seems different. Currently the padding structure yields the following scroll outcome:
We could potentially change it to:
Notice that the top & bottom is the same (we can't change it), it's not perfect but it's already an improvement.
I think that if we decide to spend time on this, we might as well explore #22544 (comment).

This happens to me too, but just in Firefox. In others browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.) works as expected.
