Pagewise scrolling up with [Shift]+[Space] not working on some websites
On some websites, like articles on https://www.nytimes.com/, one can scroll down pagewise with [Space] key, but not scroll up with [Shift]+[Space]. Pressing [Shift]+[Space] results in scrolling down one screen page; it should scroll up one screen page.
This seems to be related to JavaScript. Current Tor Browser 6.5 is affected in default settings, meaning security slider on low, but also on medium. When security slider is set to high, there is no problem scrolling up with [Shift]+[Space]. Also tested in Tails. (As far as I remember, this problem was also present in versions before 6.5.)
Testing in other (non Tor) browsers, [Shift]+[Space] works as expected, scrolling up pagewise. Also with uBlock Origin active or NoScript and some JavaScript blocked.
