Maybe send an example project that has the issue.

The following code(s) works as expected for me, i can scroll anywhere and
move the cursor then the following code jumpot to the end of the doc..

' TextArea1.Pos = TextArea1.Length
' TextArea1.Pos = TextArea1.Text.Len
TextArea1.Pos = String.Len(TextArea1.Text)

TextArea1.EnsureVisible
TextArea1.SetFocus

Your problem seems unusual, so an example project might help us (or you)
solve the problem.
