Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-05-21 19:15:39 UTC
Suppose I apply a style to the current paragraph, using the style list on the sidebar.

When doing that, I might still want to use the style list - e.g., to change my mind and choose another style, or to modify the style I just applied. However, the style list scroll-position changes, so that the applied, and now selected, style is the first item visible on the list (and other list items have all moved).

That is not useful and frustrates my legitimate and common intended continued actions: I now have to "recapture" the list, notice how its contents has changed, and locate another item, or the now-selected item. This makes me feel like the app is "working against me". It also doesn't help that there's a delay of several deci-seconds before this happens, so I may have already start my next action based on the current list position.

Note: When the style was set from another location, it may or may not be reasonable to set the list scroll position. My thought that it probably isn't but this bug is only about the case of selecting the style using the sidebar.
