Implementing T296910 will improve the accuracy with which we can keep peoples' scroll position consistent when transitioning from reading into editing.

This task involves the work with defining how – if at all – the improvements we'll have made in T296910 could be extended to the transitioning from editing into reading.

This investigation is in service of increasing the speed and ease with which people can:

1. Get back to what they were reading at the moment they opened the editor [in cases where people are exiting the editing interface without publishing any changes]
2. Continue viewing the content they were focused on in the moment just before clicking Publish changes

Open questions

• 1. What currently determines where people are scrolled to in reading mode when publishing an edit?
• 2. What currently determines where people are scrolled to in reading mode when exiting the editor without having published a change?
• 3. How – if at all – do the answers to "1." and "2." vary depending on the editing interface people were using and what they did to open the editing interface?
• 4. How – if at all – could the accuracy improvements T296910 introduces be extended/applied to the transition from editing to reading?

Done

• The answers to all ===Open questions are documented above
