TextEdit keeps getting stuck

TextEdit keeps getting stuck in the middle of files stopping me from being able to scroll down any further. I'm on macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 - I don't remember ever having these issues on Sierra 10.12.

The only fixes I've found for this so far are:

• adding a new line and then deleting it

• closing textedit and re-opening (but this doesn't always fix it)

Is there a fix for this?

I have had similar difficulties in the past. I have found a work around that may solve or assist you in your issue. I found that if I first extend the window vertically so the text all fits into it, therefore eliminating the need to scroll, it works correctly. Unfortunately, this won't work for long documents where it can not fit on the screen entirely.
