Pressing Shift, Ctrl or Alt scrolls the text view
I just discovered this strange bug with the latest nightly build (svn 8549).
When viewing a file that is too long to fit entirely on your screen :
1) position your cursor somewhere,
2) use the vertical scroll bar or the mouse wheel to scroll the view a little so that the cursor gets out of the view,
3) hold either Shift, Ctrl or Alt down.
The view then starts to scroll back to the position of the cursor, at the same speed as if one was using the Up of Down arrow keys. The cursor doesn't move though, only the view is scrolling.

History
The EditorTweaks plugin tries to keep the position in the editor away from the edges. It scrolls one line up/down (when needed) based on a calculation every keypress.
Patch #3371 should resolve the unexpected scrolling by only scrolling if the current position is on screen.
This bug is now fixed in HEAD.
Thank you for reporting it.
