How do I remove lots of empty space when scrolling to end of file?

[mahaju]

This is what I mean

When I drag the scrollbar tot he bottom of a file, the contents of the file scroll up until the only he last line of the file is visible at the top of the file. A blank space takes up the remainder of the screen

Is it possible to get rid of this blank space? What I want to have happen is, when I drag the vertical scroll bar to the bottom, I want the scrolling to end with the last line of the file at the bottom of the screen, I think this is how it used to be older versions of Notepad++ (but I have been using the current one for so long I just don’t remember). Is there any way to get rid of this extra blank space?

@mahaju
You likely have enabled the option called “enable scrolling past last line”.

Read this section of the manual , the relevant section is down just above “dark mode”.

There are lots of settings you can alter so I encourage you to try them out.
