geany 1.38 (built on 2021-10-14 with GTK 3.24.30, GLib 2.68.4)

Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon on laptop and desktop

Both are pretty dated, I'd suggest you try to upgrade Mint so you'll get also a newer Geany version.

Also, clicking the arrow requires 3 clicks before there's any movement. That is, it's 3 clicks to move one line.

Does this happen only on the scrollbar of the editing widget or also on other widgets like the symbol list or plugin manager dialog?

Can I post a video screen capture in webm (or other) format?

Sure why not.

Someone on another forum kindly looked into it and referenced this bit of code as the problem:
         if (gtk_adjustment_get_upper(adjustmenth) != horizEndPreferred ||
                        gtk_adjustment_get_page_size(adjustmenth) != 
...

This is Scintilla code and so it might be not caused by Geany itself.
Though the behavior could also be triggered by a combination of the code above and a specific GTK theme.

I suggest the following things to ideally solve or at least narrow down the problem:

upgrade Linux Mint and Geany
if the problems persists or this is not possible:
- try "Scite" - this is the reference implementation of the Scintilla library we also use in Geany, maybe it exposes the same behavior
- try another GTK theme to see if it makes any difference
