[cssom-view] scroll-behavior and collapsing content

[Malvoz]

The issue I stumbled upon may be very style specific but I would assume this has been seen before only I could not find such issues reported. The issue happens when scroll-behavior: smooth is used and content collapses above the link destination.

Instead of trying to explain the issue with inaccurate terminology, please visit, navigate the links and experience the awkward content revealing in this codepen: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/ejRaLa

Whatever terminology you use, saying something about the issue would be better than saying nothing and forcing everyone to infer what you're talking about. ^_^

I think your issue is that if, between the time a smooth scrolling operation is trigger and it completes, the position of the element being smooth-scrolled to changes, browsers currently don't take that into account, and still scroll to the original position. The final scroll position is thus confusing, because the element you were trying to scroll to isn't in the expected place (and if it moved up, may be totally off-screen).

Is this right?

Yes that is right @tabatkins. I agree, I should have elaborated further on the issue description. Thanks for taking your time!
