Maintain scroll position

This is really needed!

It seems to be resolved with the new responsive features. Just made a quick test and it worked! Thanks soooo much!

Wilhelm Löwe: how did you do it?

Reyvant Tambi: I did, nothing, it just remains the scroll position in new apps that are responsive, at least in my test.

Wilhelm Löwe: in the PWA or native app?

Reyvant Tambi: It only seems to be working in Desktop Apps, on mobile it still loses scroll position.

Wilhelm Löwe: for me this doesnt work in the PWA. I tested several transition types. After coming back from the detail modal the list always scrolls back to top.

Timo Fischer: it only works in desktop browser. We need more people to vote on this! :face_with_monocle:

Wilhelm Löwe: I use a “Desktop browser”. It doesn’t work there either for me.

Timo Fischer: i will make a Short video of my App where it works Beginning of next week

Wilhelm Löwe: Thanks so much. It would be really interesting to see the difference. E.g. is it only on custom lists with drop down filters that I use etc.

Timo Fischer: I tested again and it works on chrome, firefox, brave and safari on mac and in safari on iOS. It seems either to be depending on the particular settings or the „bug“ has been resolved … or it just happens random? Here’s a desktop screen capture: https://www.loom.com/share/b5ae6c7d9bd1470c9c82e7f8725862f1

Wilhelm Löwe: thanks Wilhelm Löwe. It always goes back to top for me. I will check if its the dropdown filters, that I use. Perhaps they are triggering a new data load. They also often lose the selected value before going to the detail page when coming back. I will let you know, but it’s great to know that it can work :slight_smile:

Wilhelm Löwe so I tested again. For me this works exactly as in your example but only as long as you don’t use authentication in the web app. If you log into your app and the list is on the homescreen then the screen always moves back to top after the modal. If I define the screen as welcome screen (as in your example) and dont login at all, then it works. So somehow the authentication check seem s to change the viewpoint, unfortunately in a real world setting you need authentication. And if you use paginated lists it doesnt work at all, when you scroll beyond page 2 as the data beyond page 1 is not there anymore when you come back from the modal.

Hey team, I have built an events app with over 100 events. It’s terrible UX for users to go back to the first event on the screen if they click back. Hope we can have this as an update soon!

Well this is my first day using Adalo and the first feature I’m thinking is a show stopper to using Adalo.

Update: after publishing to Apple Store it appears this issue does not happen in native apps only in the browser version. Lowering the severity of this to high but less critical.

Timo Fischer: yes, i can reproduce that. Only loses Scrollposition when logged in.

Wilhelm Löwe: I filed a bug ticket and the support said they are aware of the issue and working on it. They couldn’t promise a timeline though. But fingers crossed this get’s solved soon as this is a blocker for production applications

Hey all, please stop messaging me & I won’t answer anymore here this is my last message. FYI I already left Adalo already as one of the early contributors/users of the platform. I don’t think this was fixed at all as they are more busy with pricing models now and tracking usage lol

By the way in a chat you can activate reverse scroll and it at least takes you to the last message.
