In the Visual Studio editor when you pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, all you see is a blank page, since the text has scrolled up past the top of the text editor window. This makes scrolling to the bottom difficult because you can't just pull the scroll bar quickly all the way down but have to carefully position the cursor so you can still see your code.

How can I make it so that, as in NotePad, when I pull the scroll bar down to the bottom of the file, I see the bottom of the file?

If you are willing to use the keyboard instead, pressing Ctrl+End will achieve what you want.

yes, I've noticed that: it is odd that some editors (VisualStudio, PSPad) show the blank page below the text yet others show the text at the bottom of the file (NotePad, EditPad, NotePad++). What were the UX designers thinking for those editors which show a blank page, how would that be desirable?

I think the idea is to let you take any line of text and put it at the top of the editor window.
