### What I’m trying to do

While navigating through my notes using the arrow keys, my cursor disappears when it reaches the bottom of the visible screen or viewport. Essentially, the cursor goes beyond the visible part of the screen, and I lose sight of its position. I’m trying to find a way to prevent this from happening.

### Things I have tried

- **Software Update** : I ensured I have the latest version of Obsidian installed.
- **Display Settings** : Experimented with different display settings, including zoom levels, to see if it had any effect on the issue.

That definitely should’t be happening.

I’d try all of the [troubleshooting tips](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/about-the-bug-reports-category/24/11) to narrow down if it’s a theme or plugin causing the issue.
