Arrow keys, Home and End keys work inconsistently while typing notes in PDF files

Report ID: 1496396005
Debug ID: D1659958161
Zotero 7.0.7
OS: Ubuntu Linux 22.04.5 LTS, 64 bit, X11, GNOME 42.9

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Zotero.
2. Open a PDF file from an aricle.
3. Use "highlight" or "add note".
4. Start typing text.
5. Use the arrow keys, Home or End keys

When I use the arrow keys (plus Home and End) to scroll in the text while writing the note, Zotero uses those inputs to scroll in the PDF. For example, pressing “End” to go to the end of the text I'm typing in the note sends me to the end of the PDF file. When I use an arrow key to scroll the cursor in the text to make a correction Zotero scrolls the PDF to the left or right. That is, these keys have an inconsistent scope when used for typing text instead of navigation.
