PR# 5073 Ctrl+End and Page Down scroll the editor unnecessarily

In the editor, hitting Ctrl+End sends the cursor to the end of the file; Page Down sends the cursor down one screenful.

In both cases, the editor unnecessarily scrolls too far, placing the last line of text half-way up the screen rather than leaving it at the bottom. I then typically have to scroll back up to see the text that was unnecessarily hidden. That typically means reaching for the mouse wheel (given that EiffelStudio doesn't support Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down like many other editors) to avoid moving the cursor away from the bottom of the file.

This is especially annoying if the whole class is short enough to fit entirely within the visible editor window. I generally hold the Down arrow down for a couple of seconds rather than simply hitting Ctrl+End or Page Down, because I know this bug will make it counterproductive to use either simple shortcut.

 This does not seem to happen in the 5.6 OS X beta.
 
 Seeing it work properly on OS X just rubs it in. It really would be great if
 Ctrl+End and Page Down worked properly on Windows too. It's so much nicer to
 use the editor when this simple thing that I have to do dozens of times each
 day works properly.
