On the latest dev build, the editor has a nasty habit of resetting the scroll position so that the cursor is again visible. It's a little difficult to reproduce as it only happens about 40% of the time. Click within the editor, then immediately start scrolling and keep scrolling. After a second or two, the view will jump back to the same scroll position as when the cursor was initially placed. This happens within php, javascript and java files (basically all the file/project types I work with). Another thing I have noticed, placing the cursor, scrolling it out of view then leaving it (No user interaction), will do nothing, but as soon as you resume scrolling, after a second the same thing happens. Positioning the cursor, waiting a few seconds then scroll, has no visual difference, saying that though it's quite possible the scroll position was reset to the same value as the current. To answer before I get asked, my mouse is not to blame. It's almost as if a thread is launched when positioning the cursor then upon thread completion the view is updated with a stale position.
I have the same problem with 8.2, editing java files. The problem does not occur in the projects pane.
I also have this very annoying problem, seems more than 40% of the time though. Sometimes I can reproduce the effect at the same location but only if I move cursor to another line and back again before immediately start scrolling and I have to pull several times on the scroll wheel before this jump occurs. Unfortunately this makes it very hard to produce or describe some test case. I have tried to toggle different settings in Options on/off but it seems to have no effect on this irritating bug. Before this test I have not changed anything under Tools-->Options from the installation defaults. I have netbeans 8.2 installed on two computers running Windows 7 and 10 respectively and this problem has popped up on both. I have used netbeans on different computers for many years so this should not be due to any system settings or hardware.
I can confirm this bug exists, starting with NetBeans 8.2.
I'm not sure how this should work ... but I've changed the version to 8.2 to emphasize that this happens in a released version. Additionally I've set the operating system to 'All' as it seems to be an issue on multiple operating systems. I am personally running linux and in comments below it was confirmed to be a problem on Windows as well.
Mila you will know better what to do with cursor and scrolling. Can you please look at this. Thank you.
I'm running NetBeans 8.2 on two different computers. The bug started to occur with the last update of plugins (one or two months ago). On my other machine I didn't install any updates yet and there the bug does not occur. My co-workers confirmed that the erratic behaviour started after installing the plugin updates.
This happens to me as well. Did not happen in 8.1

This happens to me in 8.2 (Build 201609300101).
Thanks for the Hint guys. I have the same problem on an Apple MacBook Pro. But, removing Plugin: RegistryServices(?), resolved the issue. Thanks!

Removing "Service Registry" plugin (deactivate + uninstall) does not work for me. Still having the same annoying problem...
As this is duplicate bug (#269451) just flagging that this is now fixed in 8.2 Patch 2 (available via Tools > Check For Updates)
Same problema here, removing Services Registry plugin resolved the issue
