I cannot replicate this problem (on Git-for-Windows git version 2.39.2.windows.1).

What OS, Git and gitk versions are you on?

I created the repo with the commands phili@Philip-Win10 MINGW64 /c/git-sdk-64/usr/src (main) $ git init gitkfault $ cd gitkfault/ $ echo test>file;git add file;git commit -mfirst $ echo test2>file;git add file;git commit -msecond $ gitk & [1] 1021

I was visualising the commits (lower gitk window) with the "Diff" and
"Patch" settings.
 
At your step 4, I tried 'scrolling up' both by mouse clicking on the two
commits in the top left window that displays the history, and by using
the left/right arrows displayed just right of the "SHA1 ID" value. No
errors were shown.

(those sha1 arrows are distinct from the 'Find' selection and navigation capability immediately below the "SHA1 ID" line.

What were the exact errors shown at your step 4?
