Cannot navigate to end of line

Question

Hello all,
I run across this often here, I am unable to just go to the end of the current line in an editor window if the line is long enough to go past the editor window. If i press end, the actual cursor moves to the end, but the view in the editor doesnt scroll along with the cursor, same thing if I do it using the cursor keys. I figured out a temp fix, and that's by reverting to DialogInput again as my font in the editor windows. I set the fonts to Lucida Console, the revert to default fonts fixed it. Any one ran across this, or seen this on any other non default installation fonts? Can we get a fix for this?
Thanks

Hello again,
After some investigation, seems related to the number of lines in the file, and was a bit tricky to track down. I've come up with this scenario to reproduce it on my machine. Am running Win XP OBI SP2, English (US) Locale, jdk1.5.0_09, jdeveloper Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.2.0.4066:
- Extract from jdevstudiobase10132.zip into c:\jdeveloper.
- Run jdeveloper.exe from extraction point.
- Choose java.exe of jdk1.5.0_09 install folder.
- No migration from previous releases.
- After jdev starts, create a new application and project with the default Application1/Project1 names.
- Create new class in Project1, accepting defaults again, project1.Class1
- Copy the following code to replace Class1 contents:
package project1;
public class Class1 {
    public void method1() {
    public void method2() {
    public void method3() {
    public void method4() {
    public void method5() {
    public void method6() {
    public void method7() {
    public void method8() {
    public void method9() {
    public void method10() {
    public void method11() {
    public void method12() {
    public void method13() {
    public void method14() {
    public void method15() {
    public void method16() {
    public void method17() {
    public void method18() {
    public void method19() {
    public void method20() {
    public void method21() {
    public void method22() {
    public void method23() {
    public void method24() {
    public void method25() {
    public void method26() {
    public void method27() {
    public void method28() {
    public void method29() {
    public void method30() {
    public void method31() {
    public void method32() {
    public void method33() {
    public void method34() {
    public void method35() {
    public void method36() {
    public void method37() {
    public void method38() {
    public void method39() {
    public void method40() {
    public void method41() {
    public void method42() {
    public void method43() {
    public void method44() {
    public void method45() {
    public void method46() {
    public void method47() {
    public void method48() {
    public void method49() {
    public void method50() {
    public void method51() {
    public void method52() {
    public void method53() {
    public void method54() {
    public void method55() {
    public void method56() {
    public void method57() {
    public void method58() {
    public void method59() {
    public void method60() {
    public void method61() {
    public void method62() {
    public void method63() {
    public void method64() {
    public void method65() {
    public void method66() {
    public static final String A_REALLY_LONG_STRING = "THIS IS SOME LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG STRING";
- Save the file then close it.
- Reopen the file, navigate to A_REALLY_LONG_STRING, press 'End' on that line, as expected cursor moves to the end, and the editor view scrolls to the end as well.
- Goto Tools -> Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts, then choose Lucida Console as the editor font.
- Close file, then reopen it, navigate again to the String, press 'End' or try and navigate using the cursor keys, and the view doesnt scroll to end of line anymore. At least in the case of this specific file which after pasting should be 204 lines long, if you delete 3 lines to get it down to 201 lines (anything under 202 lines), for example by removing method66 declaration and removing one empty line, then save, then close the file and reopen it again, the correct behavior is restored, and scroll to end of line works.
Reverting back to DialogInput of course solves all issues. Happens on my machine with these fonts as well:
Letter Gothic
Fixed Miriam Transparent
MS Gothic
One last note, am running at 1024x768 resolution for the issue of not being able to see the entire line appears :) at least if its related.
