I tend to scroll without using the scrollbar, but instead by using arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn. When using the latter keys, I cannot control the scrolling while in Visual Editor. It usually scrolls much too far, 2 pages' worth, and I miss text that is skipped instead of presented to me as the previous/next page.
Is there a way to mitigate this, or will I need to work around it using the scrollbars?

Do you, by any chance, have your browser window zoomed in (or narrow), so that the toolbar takes up more than one line? There are a lot of scrolling-related bugs, but phab:T67241 was the only one that looked like it might be related.
I do not have the browser zoomed, but the toolbar takes up two lines until I widen the browser window to 1520 pixels.
The presence of images and other entities such as infoboxes and navboxes definitely plays a part in the glitch. If I scroll through a region of pure text, it seems to behave OK.
I will experiment some more with this and see what I find. I see your recommended phabricator bug was created 6 years ago, not encouraging...
I'm particularly curious whether the scrolling problem goes away if the toolbar is just one line. If so, then there might be some invalid assumptions about visible screen height somewhere.
Also, I'm pinging @AHollender (WMF), who has been working on the Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements project, and who might be interested in knowing that the toolbar requires 1520 pixels to display normally for you.
@Elizium23 thanks for mentioning this issue. Would you be able to take a screenshot (or multiple), upload it to https://imgur.com/ and then paste a link to it here? That way we can see exactly what you're seeing. cc @ESanders (WMF)
Please see my website for screenshots. Except for the first and second image, each one is a result of me pressing "PgDn" exactly once while in the VisualEditor, on enwiki.
