I would call this not a bug but a 'feature'. :-)

Scrolling via the page down area or arrow stops when the bottom of the
file is in the window.  You can get the bottom higher with the thumb,
but I suppose the idea is that if you know where the bottom is you can
still see a lot of the rest of the file.

I am neutral on this one.  Sometimes I appreciate it, sometimes I'm
caught short by it.  I don't think it is important enough to change.
