Job configuration scrolls "persist" between page loads incorrectly

XMLWordPrintable

      I'm not sure why this "feature" exists, but it appears the freestyle job configuration page is persisting the scroll state in a cookie. That by itself isn't the problem, but if you navigate away from the page after having scrolled to a tab, and then come back, the configuration page scrolls to the incorrect location.

          [JENKINS-33567] Job configuration scrolls "persist" between page loads incorrectly

          I should note that the persistence of scroll position is applied across every job configuration page. In effect if you scroll to "Post-build Actions" on JobA and then navigate to the configuration of JobB, the page will scroll incorrectly

          This made sense when it was real tabs (Jenkins remembers where you were!), but needs to be removed now.

          I kind of like the tab memory, even in the scroll situation. The fact that the tabs didn't show up is a real bug, though. I am submitting a fix.

          gusreiber The problem is that memory does not seem to behave in any way predictable. With shorter sections, you can never really know which section you're in. And the scrolling in the case of a short config form is also weird, as it doesn't even reach your previous section (too many sections on the screen). I mean, I knew of this feature in tabs, it was obvious it's still in there in scrolling, but I had no idea WTF it's doing. Imagine not knowing about it.
