Description
If you are editing a template and the edited content has more lines than the original, scroll sync makes it impossible to navigate to those extra lines—the browser scroll glitches back to match the final line number of the original content. Keyboard navigation doesn't work, either.
NodeBB 4.4.6
plugin 4.1.1
Tested in Chrome 138 and Firefox 141.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the template editor with edited content containing more lines than the original, using the reported browser versions if available. Trace the scroll-sync behavior and verify that the extra lines can be reached by scrolling and keyboard navigation without the browser jumping back to the original final line.
