It seemed to me that in all editors with 2d positioning, when you switch scopes/tabs/groups you keep the position. And if this position is truncated because your interface has become smaller and does not scroll, then in all the rest you will be higher.

yes, that's what I'm saying. It's still a bug though right?

Iliya Katushenock commented

Is this a request to remove the global position in the interface?

Well that would be nice, but it doesn't seem to be related to this bug. The behaviour is correct until the panel switched to is sufficiently condensed to not be scrollable. So the panels are working correctly until that occurrence. Doesn't appear to be anything to do with the global position of things like the node editors for example.

So it's obviously been designed to remember the positioning when switching between tabs on the same panel, it's just not working after switching to a tab that can't scroll and then back again.

I'm not being funny, but you seem to be closing down bug reports like they're a nuisance. I think you should remember that people reporting bugs are going to some effort to try and help make the software better.

That the coordinate is truncated is normal behavior. It has always been so. This report is not a bug, but a request to change this behavior. Which is everywhere.

The job of a bug tracker is to report bugs. In order to make the program better, write suggestions (on RCS), or if you are a developer, design.

Hm, dont think so.
If you do this in 2.90, it stays scrolled down after switching back to the tab
If you do this in 2.91, the behavior changed to the behavior described in this report.

We should at least check why/when this changed (because at first sight, this does not necessarily look like an improvement)

So seems like an unintentional change, @HooglyBoogly , mind checking?

Wow. I'm sorry that I took it as something planned from the very beginning. I'll be watching more to see if another something like this has happened before.
