Details

It's standard practice on Mac that when you scroll the contents of a window using page up/down, or clicking in the page up/down portion of the scroll bar, that the distance scrolled is the view size minus one line of text. This allows you to keep your eye on the last line of text, and find it again after scrolling. In a world that isn't line-based, it's not so easy to figure out how high one line of text is. Perhaps you could get the default style from the style context, and measure the height of a line of text which has the default body style.
I should mention that currently, we scroll by an entire page.
