What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I visit the hapi.dev API reference (https://hapi.dev/api/?v=20.1.0)

What was the result you got?

The site scrolls upward on its own.

What result did you expect?

The site not to scroll on its own ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Right now, it makes me quite anxious—like I'm in a race to finish reading what I'm reading before it scrolls out of view.😅

I'm not sure exactly what conditions trigger the auto-scroll. An easy way is to Ctrl-F a term somewhere further in the docs, then scroll a bit (like in the clip below). Some other times, it happens when I nav between sections from the menu.

Additional info: when this happens, my CPU fans get way louder and CPU usage goes up.

I regularly experience this as well when on Safari. I can make it stop if I scroll the left navigation section a bit.

This appears to be a problem with some scroll focus logic, where it thinks that the view is wrong, adjusts it, and then still thinks it is wrong, causing a loop.

This is not a new issue, and has been there always.
