🪲 IDE Editor scrolling via keyboard up/down keys: Issue fixed

Latest version of BAM

This was an issue in BAM right from the outset (i.e. since December of 2021).

When programs get so long as to not fit the height of the editor, requiring scrolling up/down, the caret in the text editor would go up/down past the border of the editor to a line above/below the editor's border, requiring some extra presses of up/down keys before (or mouse-wheel, or click on scrollbar) to bring the desired part of the program into view.

I finally figured out today the CSS override needed for the editor to properly and automatically scroll when trying to move the caret past the top/bottom visible line of text in the editor.

To compare the before and after behaviour, put the opened latest version of BAM next to any previous version (like the archived 2024-02-05 version of BAM) and see how caret navigation (up and down keys) past the top/bottom lines of a long program works.
