It is unpredictable. I get a weird scrunching of lines sometimes when I scroll down fast with a trackpad or mouse, then the lines readjust, sometimes they get “stuck” before they right themselves after some additional scroll back and forth. Usually happens on files that have a few hundred lines in them.
I’m using TM way less now because I need the power of an IDE for python. It’s too slow coding that stuff by hand and not having a language server with a linter running.
I still use TM regularly for its powerful search though and for typing plain txt for notes. I’ll continue to use it just because it lets me quickly search all the text of my project folder and jump to those lines to make fast changes. The scrolling bug is annoying though.

I noticed scrolling issues for what seems years. Most irritating has been TM won’t scroll to the end of the page, but I’ve never gotten systematic about trying to sort it out. I just tried with a 200 line file on an M1 MBP. On first opening a file (from File Browser or TM relaunch), feels like TM is trying to find out where the end of the file is or read ahead or something like that. An unsteadiness. (Some reports of issues with early Monterey, but I’m at 12.1). And scrolling still seems to stop before the end of the page and then if you scroll again, you can get to the bottom. Just relaunched again, and scrolling is jerky and stopped two lines before the bottom.
Somewhat oddly, I quit TM at the end of the page. On relaunch the top is at line 22. (This happened over several relaunches.)
All the above is for two finger scrolling. I tried a 12k line file and scrolled by dragging the scroll bar button and it scrolled to the bottom without hesitation. I quit and relaunched and that file was at line 0, Dragged scroll bar to bottom in less than a second (half?) and ended up at the end of the file. Manually tabbed to the 200 line file and was six lines from the bottom.
I don’t know if any of this helps, but confirms somewhat erratic behavior. I probably use TM less than an hour a day. Not ready to switch. Since there was some much chatter about MS Code I had tried it a bit and decided it wasn’t worth it for my limited use. A few advantages for me, but not worth relearning. The main thing I liked was that for Rails html.erb the folding was much easier to read.

Yep, same here, annoying and seemingly unpredictable jumps when changing tabs (and some other fringe cases)… S.

Hey everybody
I've been a TM user since the very early days. I had a license for TM1, and I kept using TM2 through all these years while many fellow devs switched to fancy coding IDEs.
I love the simplicity of TM2, and it does just what I want it to do, nothing more.
But since a while, I experience that TM2 has some scrolling issues. When I switch between the tabs (opened text files), the scrolling jumps quite unpredictably. I always have to move the cursor (arrow key), so the current line is in the viewport again. This is annoying, and for the first time in my life I'm tempted to abandon TM2 and move to some other simple editor.
Can anyone tell me whether there is a way to fix this? Or that it will be fixed soon?
