Page editor should 'remember' the scroll distance after saving a draft #5809

Closed jckpn closed 8 months ago

jckpn commented 4 years ago

I save drafts very often out of habit, however with Wagtail I'm always reluctant to do so as it makes the page refresh (and scroll to the top as a result of this). It can be a bit jarring and can hinder workflow. I'd expect it to 'remember' the part I was editing and scroll back down to it, or ideally save the draft without totally refreshing the page.

For people interested in this, we are going to address this as part of the page editor 2022 project – we’ll have autosave, so there won’t be as much of a need to remember scroll positions after editing a page.

I’m going to close this in favour of Autosave #24 from the Wagtail roadmap. I don’t see ourselves ever implementing scroll restoration for drafts, but we will implement mechanisms to minimize the amount of full page reloads.
