Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > I agree with @archon810. WordPress breaks the expected browser behavior
 with the fancy scrolling editor, so it becomes WordPress's responsibility
 to implement any expected browser behaviors that are broken.

 To take WordPress out of the question, I tried testing this on the TineMCE
 homepage https://www.tinymce.com/ (this is the editor used in WordPress)

 The scroll behavior I see is the same as the WordPress editor and seems to
 be browser specific - I tested chrome and firefox...  chrome always
 scrolls the outer page, no matter what. Firefox will scroll only the
 editor region _if it has a scroll bar_. I don't think TinyMCE or WordPress
 do anything to change the reaction of the page to these key events.

 I still feel this is a browser behavior and changing it will break user's
 expectations, not help them.
