- Start from: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --no-init-file
- Switch to *scratch*
- Eval: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "Monaco" :height 180)
-   May need a bigger :height, depending on your screen size.
- Then try to scroll to the top of your buffer. I can't see it.

I've described a workaround here, using text-scale-adjust:

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this issue in Emacs 28.  Are you still seeing
this problem in more recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
