I have solved it by this way :

// Create instance of Javascript executor
JavascriptExecutor je = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
//Identify the WebElement which will appear after scrolling down
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.tagName("...."));
// now execute query which actually will scroll until that element is not appeared on page.
je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element);

What if I don't know what the element is and I just want the combo box to scroll down to the end? Can I do that? – Harvey Lin Jan 05 '18 at 22:23

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.tagName("....")); returns no results because the element has not yet appeared on the page, it will appear only after scrolling the dropdown scrollbar.. – hipokito Feb 24 '21 at 17:11

Try following code.

browser.executeScript('window.scrollTo(0,0);').then(function () {
    page.saveButton.click();
})

Hope this helps. :)
