Have a commit with a long commit message in the history view. Scroll down using the cursor-down key. At least on my Windows system this does not scroll the view scrollbars, i.e. the cursor goes down into the non visible part of the text, while the top part of the commit message remains visible.
this problem also exists on Mac
This seems to be caused by a layout I don't really understand: The SourceViewer displaying the commmit message is as big as the full text height (i.e. it has no scrollbars), and it is embedded in a scrolled composite, which adds the scrollbars. Can't we get rid of the scrolled composite and have the SourceViewer do the scrolling instead.
It's not that easy. The composite provides a combined scroll over the commit message viewer and the diff viewer below.

Re your comment that scrolling across both nested viewers didn't work: I found a way to make this work for caret navigation with the arrow keys. Page-up/down won't work correctly though, since the underlying StyledText just moves to the end of the document. But line-up/down could be made to work. Combined selection over the two widgets is not possible.
