I just tried it, and yes, it's the same. For some reason, I'm in the habit
of using the arrow keys rather than page-up and page-down, so I had never
noticed this before.

I agree with that 100%. It's a horrible window, and there are numerous
things that ought to be done to improve it. For starters I'd like to be
able to resize the window, and I'd like a function that changes the % view
of the text in it.

Fortunately, I'm not affected by it too often, since I usually just type
text into it all at once and never need to change anything later. When I do
make edits there, it's pretty clumsy. If I have a lot of typing or editing
to do, I'll sometimes use cut and paste to copy the text to a real text
editor for editing, then cut and paste again to move it back. This is
actually not such a big deal to do, but even so it's utterly ridiculous
that anyone would ever want to.
