Research direction

Start with a WPF application hosting WebView2 and a local HTML page, reproduce the stated sequence of scrolling to the bottom and repeatedly pressing F5, and observe whether the page moves upward. No repository files or tests are named; done means the uncontrolled scrolling is reproduced, its cause is identified, and a verified fix or clearly documented limitation is established.
