Afternoon,

The sectional problem is one I've had in the past.  I've solved it on
other versions by ctrl+home to go to the top of the webpage and using
shift+the number to scroll backwards thereby jumping me to the bottom
of the page and I can then scroll to where I want to go backwards
instead of forwards.  It's frustrating and I wish it wasn't a
necessary step in some cases.  Perhaps it will work for you.

Hth,
Alex
