When editor horisontal scroll bar disappears, it can inflict on vertical scroll bar behaviour

I have some code with more than double number of lines than can be displayed in the editor window. The vertical scroll bar is visible.
The first line of code is longer that can be horisontallly displayed in the window. The horisontal scroll bar is visible.
Up till now everything is honky-dory.

I now scroll down in the file by clicking the down arrow in the vertical scroll bar. I click repeatedly on the arrow until the long line is not visible, whereby the horisontal scrollbar disappears and the vertical bar is no longer visible (down arrow symbol is moved downwards). If I click again on what I think is the down arrow, I now click in the scroll bar with the result that the screen scrolls down a full screen and I miss my focus. (Sic! - why are GUI problems always so wordy to explain?)

Please always let the down arrow in the scrollbar have the same vertical position on the screen, disregarding if the horisontal scroll bar is visible. In this way I can focus on my code and not on where my mouse is pointing when clicking.

Any improvement will be appreciated. Thanks.
