Long list of bookmarks jumps to top of page when adjusting/organizing bookmarks

Open Brave-Matt opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Description

When you have a large list of bookmarks (such that you have to scroll down to view them all), if you:

  • Delete a bookmark from the long list, the page will automatically jump to the top from where you are in the list
  • Move a bookmark by dragging it from the list into another folder, the page jumps to the top of the list

This can be frustrating for users trying to organize a long list of bookmarks, since jumping to the top of the page every time causes them to lose their place in the list. Behavior should be that after each/any action, users position in the list/on the page should stay the same.

Steps to Reproduce

You must have a long list of bookmarks — long enough force you to scroll to view them all.

  1. Settings --> Bookmarks
  2. Scroll down a long list of bookmarks and right-click to delete one of them
  3. Observe page jumps to top of list
  4. Repeat process for dragging a bookmark from long list to a new folder

Reproduces how often:

User reported this and also reported that this behavior will happen if you navigate away from the Bookmark manager page.
