Answer 1

Sometimes I also faced the problem of scrolling with Selenium. So I used javaScriptExecuter to achieve this.

For scrolling down:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0, 250)", "");

Or, also

js.executeScript("scroll(0, 250);");

For scrolling up:

js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");

Or,

js.executeScript("scroll(0, -250);");
