The reason for this is a user-friendly behaviour: near the vertical ends of the
buffer performs some jump-scroll to instantly show more of the hidden buffer
contents.
I don't know exactly how to cure the effect, maybe setting scroll-margin and
scroll-step can adjust the behaviour to your likings.
Making the window higher would also help…
