For GitHub: consider jump to comment without the -permalink tail

grahamperrin commented 5 years ago

With #5 as a random example, with version 0.9.0 of the extension, a jump from the space to the right of the date of the comment before closure leads to:

https://github.com/brettz9/jump-to-anchor/issues/5#issuecomment-157824444-permalink

– which initially includes a view of the tail of the preceding comment (call it an offset, if you like).

Compare with this, without the -permalink tail, focusing on the required comment:

https://github.com/brettz9/jump-to-anchor/issues/5#issuecomment-157824444

Enhancement request

Please: is it possible, reasonable, to make an exception for jumps to GitHub comments?

Side notes

The initial offset that occurs (in Waterfox and in Firefox) can be worked around by a reload. A bug in Mozilla code, I guess.

Sorry, scrub this issue.

I just realised, the offset also occurs when using an anchor without the -permalink tail:

brettz9 / jump-to-anchor

For GitHub: consider jump to comment without the -permalink tail #11
