Gist with trace level log output, stack trace and sample .robot and .html files
I was expecting the element to be scrolled into view. This does work on Chromium, both headless and normal.

Research direction
Start with the linked gist and its sample .robot and .html files, reproducing the issue in Firefox 103 with geckodriver 0.31.0 and comparing it with Chromium. The work is done when 'Scroll Element Into View' reliably scrolls the target element into the viewport in Firefox.
