How do i stop Automatic scrolling to bottom of page?

When entering data into a new text file the screen automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page and I have to manually go to the top again to enter data but after a few seconds it go to the bottom again. Very annoying. It just started this a few months ago. I tried deleting the app on my Android device and reinstalling and signing in. No luck. Any suggestions?

I'm using Dropbox version 306.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S20 with Android version 12. I use Dropbox to share .txt files between my devices. When I open one on my Android phone, and make a change in the text, it always scrolls to the end of the document. The only way to get back to where I was is to manually scroll back up. Then, as soon as I type another character, it scrolls to the end of the document again. So the text editor is borderline useless. Doesn't matter if it's a long document or a short document. I've tried to find a way to use a different word processing app to open the files. When I open the settings on Dropbox, and click "manage default apps", it does not give me the option of choosing a different word processor to open the .txt file. What should I do?

I'm a new SG23 owner so this has only been a problem for a couple days, but still very irritating. You solution worked perfectly including the keystrokes through the setup menu. Well done, thanks!
