Description

It seems like the agent has no idea how long it should scroll for! I've watched it scroll to the bottom of the page countless times when it (seemingly) only meant to hop down a bit. It seems like the program keeps scrolling for an excessively long time; even if I try to stop it, it'll keep scrolling, sometimes for 10s of seconds. Sometimes, it'll even scroll to the bottom of the page, scroll back up, and then scroll down again... Typical AI stupidity, I guess :)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Command AI to go browse the web.
  2. If the page is longer than what can be seen at first glance, the AI attempts to scroll to the bottom.
  3. Scroll runs entirely too long.

Here's an example query I fed it which gave this behavior:

Go on Amazon and browse NEMA 14-50 EVSEs and determine the best one.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Reproduce the behavior by having the agent browse a page longer than the viewport, then trace the scrolling implementation and verify that short scroll requests stop promptly without repeated movement or unintended travel to the page bottom.
