Was there less than two pages' worth of text in the field? (The 
engine does not want to let you scroll past the last line of text, so 
if there is, say, 1 1/4 pages of text, when you set the scroll to the 
field height you'll see the last full page - starting 1/4 of the way 
in - rather than the last quarter of a page.)

A quick and dirty way around this is to add a few returns to the end 
when you populate the field, to make enough blank space at the end to 
allow scrolling the full height of a page.
