Question Jumpy D-Pad Behavior in Opera Mini and Picsel Browsers?

I'm not sure how exactly to explain this, but when browsing in Opera Mini or Picsel and using the directional pad to navigate around pages, sometimes it scrolls by itself as if I held it down temporarily (though I am pressing different directions lightly). I'm not exactly sure how to replicate it as it just seems to happen randomly. I can't tell if it's some sort of bug or if it's some strange feature. FWIW, it's more prevalent in Picsel than Opera Mini.

Does anybody else experience this? I feel like I should record a video of the behavior so that it'll be easier to see, but I'll first see if anybody can chime in.

Here's an example scenario that I might come across:
  1. I open a PDF document in Picsel Browser.
  2. I'm zoomed in pretty far in.
  3. I press the directional pad in different directions without holding any one direction down and navigate around the page.
  4. All of a sudden, after I press some direction once, it scrolls a good amount in that direction as if I held it down and then stops.
I hope I didn't make things even more confusing.
