@user966256 Update the question with the _url_ you are invoking through `get()` along with the second and third _url_ after first and second refresh. — undetected Selenium, Feb 25 '19 at 09:31

Can you try this, I hope global variable window is missed in your code

// scroll vertically
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, 1000);") 

// scroll horizontally
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(1000, 0);") 


//scroll to particular element
WebElement Element = driver.findElement(By.id("someID"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", Element);

You can use the below method that I have written to scroll to a particular element. You just need to pass Driver object.

// Method to scroll down to specific element
public static void scrollToElement(WebDriver driver) throws InterruptedException {
String key = "";
WebElement element = null;
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator));
// This will scroll the page till the element is found
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(2000);
}

@user966256 - have u used explicit or fluent waits for skipping 2 times page refresh time ? – Amit Jain Feb 25 '19 at 07:48

As u mentioned, page getting auto refreshed 2 times and then loading. There could be an issue because you trying to scroll the page after first auto refreshed. There shall be some micro second delay between these 2 auto refreshed so selenium is trying to scroll the page but before it could happen site is getting auto refreshed 2 time. Can I request you to have checkpoint before ur JavaScript scrolling method and do the debugging to ensure, it's actually working or not. If it does work then of course u need to perform any action after 2 auto refreshed happens.
