I cannot reproduce this, but then I don't think I understand what you
mean by "scroll one more pixel up".  AFAIK, scrolling text in Emacs
works by lines, not by pixels.  Maybe a GTK3 build allows pixelwise
scrolling via the scroll-bar?  If so, this could be specific to GTK3
builds or something.

Are you sure you don't have some local changes wrt stock Emacs 29.2,
or maybe activated some non-default feature that affects scrolling?
