Excel 365 Slow Scrolling Due to Notes and Comments

An Excel spreadsheet containing any 'notes' (previously known as 'comments' in some earlier Excel versions) is slow to scroll up and down when using the up/down arrow keys. For example, even on a new workbook created as a blank workbook, after one 'note' is added (right-click, new note) in cell A1 the scrolling action becomes 'jumpy' - jumps 4 or five rows at a time. If the note is deleted then the sheet scrolls normally. Previously I had used Excel 2010 which did not have this problem. This has been tested on two machines. Win 10. Excel version 1903. Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour? Any solutions?

The same problem is apparent when adding comments (i.e. threaded comments, as distinct from "notes") but seemingly only where the comment has been 'posted'.

This has now been tested on three machines and the problem is there even when running Excel in Safe Mode. This problem (or something rather similar) seems to have also been experienced at https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7348

(This question has been on SuperUser for some time with no answer so far)

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
