I had to jump through way too many hoops to figure out how to fix this myself, so I'm leaving my solution in this chain for David6162 & anyone else that comes looking for answers in the future.
I'm like 80% sure this issue is caused by the Grammarly implementation into the Samsung keyboard. Grammarly is responsible for the green underlines under text it wants you to check & for some reason it's extremely insistent on you confirming the most recent underline (typically near or at the bottom of the page), so it snaps you to it very frequently to get your attention.
First thing I tried was to just disable Grammarly outright in keyboard settings but that didn't seem to work for me, so I dug a little deeper and found you can manually select which apps you want to disable Grammarly spellchecking for.
Goto: Settings > General Management > Samsung Keyboard Settings > Suggest text corrections > Manage apps ; once there you can disable which apps Grammarly will try to check for you (in this case you should look for Dropbox). Bear in mind you will still have access to standard Samsung autocorrect after disabling this so spellchecking shouldn't be an issue after disabling this.

I'm using Dropbox version 306.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S20 with Android version 12. I use Dropbox to share .txt files between my devices. When I open one on my Android phone, and make a change in the text, it always scrolls to the end of the document. The only way to get back to where I was is to manually scroll back up. Then, as soon as I type another character, it scrolls to the end of the document again. So the text editor is borderline useless. Doesn't matter if it's a long document or a short document. I've tried to find a way to use a different word processing app to open the files. When I open the settings on Dropbox, and click "manage default apps", it does not give me the option of choosing a different word processor to open the .txt file. What should I do?
