Hi, I would like to contribute a fix for this in liferay-portal, but I cannot create a Jira ticket (community account has no Create Issue permission on LPS/LPD). Could someone from Liferay file an LPS/LPD so I can open a PR against master?
Summary
Clicking a site navigation / footer link to another page updates the URL and content (SPA), but the viewport stays at the previous scroll position instead of going to the top.
Reproduced on
Steps
- Open https://www.liferay.com/
- Scroll to the footer
- Click “About Us” (goes to /company/our-story)
Expected
New page is shown from the top.
Actual
Content and title change to About Us, but scrollY stays at the bottom. history.state.scrollTop is already 0 (Liferay.SPA.app.updateScrollPosition is true), so the SPA thinks it scrolled to top, but the viewport does not.
Likely related to frontend-js-spa-web (App.js scroll restoration / focus remaining on the clicked link).
Happy to implement + add tests once there is a ticket key.
