What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. type in an input field or textarea
2. Press HOME or END keys
3. in INPUT, nothing happens (you can press ctrl-HOME or -END as workaround)
4. in TEXTAREA, nothing happens, and pressing ctrl + Home or End results in
going to the top line, first character or bottom line, last character in
the textarea.

What is the expected result?
Curser moves to the beginning or end of the line.

What happens instead?
Nothing at all.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

This has only been happening to me this week, possibly late last week.

Do you have the SmoothScroll extension enabled? Do you see the problem if
this extension is disabled?

I (accidentally) uninstalled it, and now it works fine... I guess the bug
involves latest updates + having smoothscroll enabled.

Furthermore, reinstalling (after the accidental uninstall) seems to have
fixed the problem... I'm not sure which version I was running of Smooth
Scroll, or if that was even an issue, but apparently uninstalling and then
installing the newest version of the Smooth Scroll extension
(https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cccpiddacjljmfbbgeimpelpndgpoknn)
seems to resolve this problem.
