scroll to top is confusing on long pages

[timabell]

Hiya,

We now have the workaround for the unwanted scrolling down to the tab (pr #11), however I think we've created a different problem as a result.

The scroll to top is happening even when you already are on the page and just switching tabs. I don't think it should scroll at all when you already have the page open (easier said than done I know).

To see what I mean:

• up the back-to-top test page
• make your browser small enough that the filler text at the top pushes the tabs off the bottom of the window
• scroll down to the tabs
• click another tab
• notice that the page is scrolled to the top and you can no longer see what you clicked on

this is in firefox.

perhaps @jabbtech could pile in on this one?

Hey @timabell!

Having the scroll to top always happen can be useful in instances where there is a desire to switch tabs while at the same time keeping a sites primary navigation at the top of a page in view. It wouldn't be too difficult to expand the backToTop option though, we could address the issue you described by passing the desired behavior like:

backToTop: always | onload | none
