Per discussion with the team, this is actually the expected behavior for scrolling (and the current default Codex behavior). We will update the description in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406923 to reflect the expected behavior for the test case. This is actually not a task we need to undertake at this time before experiment launch.
