Scrolling up in the sticky post text editor does not scroll the page up to top

[elmo5]

In the sticky post editor, if I use arrow keys to navigate in the text mode tab (textarea#content), the page does not scroll up to the very top of the page, leaving part of the text hidden. I have to use mouse to again reveal the text. In the TinyMCE mode the scrolling works perfectly.

I attached a screenshot where I created lines of text to get the page scroll. At the bottom of the page, cursor can be seen all the time. Then, when I go and use arrow keys to scroll to the first line of the text, it only scrolls almost to the top, leaving about 6.5 lines above the scroll.

Additionally, using Ctrl+Home or Ctrl+End (on Windows) to navigate to the top or bottom of the textarea does not scroll the page.

I was able to reproduce this on Firefox and Chrome, when activating the option Enable full-height editor and distraction-free functionality. and with a very long post. From an accessibility perspective, something that needs to be fixed since there's no way to move the cursor back to the top of the post when using keyboard only.

Punting to 4.8.1 per discussion in today's 4.8 rc1 bug scrub in #core.

Not sure if it's worth fixing this, now that all the focus is on the new editor Gutenberg, /cc @azaozz @iseulde

I think its still worth to fix it, as the old editor will still be in projects, if users don't want to update to Gutenberg.

Reviewed during today's accessibility bug scrub. This is still an annoying problem in the Classic Editor (which will be supported till end 2021). Moving to Future Release as something that needs focus and solution.
