Reproduction Steps
1. Open google chrome
2. Go to documentation website
3. Scroll far enough to reach a new chapter (i.e. it becomes highlighted on the side after scrolling to it)
This happens regardless of the way you scroll, unless it’s an instant scroll (or clicking and holding the scroll bar, for whatever reason works fine), such as clicking on the chapter directly won’t reset the scroll, until you scroll.
I’ve been able to reproduce it across every page I’ve visited using these methods
- Mouse scroll wheel
- Up and down arrow keys
- Page up and page down
- Clicking the arrow above and beneath the scroll bar
Expected Behavior
Scroll to work (as it does on firefox)
Actual Behavior
Scroll is consistently reset to the top of the page
Chrome version is: Version 106.0.5249.119 (64 bit)
I disabled all extensions before reporting this, and it still happened, even in an incognito window. This seems to only happen when scrolling to a new chapter in the page as you can click to a specific chapter, but when you scroll to a new one it resets. This happens regardless of scroll direction.
At first I thought it would be my extensions, so I disabled all of them, it still happened. Then I tried in an incognito window, also had the same problem. At that point my chrome also had an update, so I updated chrome (which restarted it as well) and the issue persisted on the latest version of chrome and after restarting the browser.
It did work before, but I haven’t visited the new documentation site in a while and I don’t know when this issue started.
Workaround
Using a different browser here’s the one’s I’ve tested to be working:
- Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Waterfox
- Opera GX
- Opera
