i don't know about the bug you may have found
due to some hidden tie of Enter to Down,
but the simple solution to your problem above is to use numbered links:
you can set that via the Options page,
then if you want to goto your link low on the page
it will be numbered eg [27] & you simply enter  27  to go off there
or  27g  if you just want to move the hilite to that link;
there's also now (thanks to Laura Eaves) the further device
that you can specify a relative link-number,
eg  7+  goes off to the 7th link below where you are:
for that you do need the latest  2-8-2pre.2 .
