Description M G Berberich 2009-05-22 20:55:18 UTC

Version:           1.4.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29.1-hermione

Akregators now remembers the position of the scrollbar in the article-list over changing the feed. It should reset the article-list-scrollbar to the top if a new feed ist selected.

If the user has hight-traffic feeds, and is scanning the articles in a feed the scrollbar is not at the top when leaving the feed. The next time he selects this feed again, hew wants to read new articles which are not visibile because they are scrolled away.

Seems my assumption that akregator saves the scrollbar-position on a per-feed basis was wrong, because the behaviour is not consistent. This might be a simply kind of “forgotten to reset”-bug.

This bug is still there. When switching to a new feed, the scrollbar in the reading panel should be reset to top instead of keeping at the position of the last reading feed. Otherwise, user has to scroll to top manually.


Akregator version,
```
cnzhx@ostp:~> akregator --version
akregator 5.10.1
```

And my environments,
```
openSUSE Tumbleweed: 20190124
KDE Plasma: 5.14.5
Qt: 5.12.0
KDE Frameworks: 5.54.0
KDE Applications: 18.12.1
Kernel: 4.20.2-1-default
```

Yes, this is extremely irritating. When a new article gets shown in the preview pane, it should be shown at the top. Whether I scrolled in another article or not is irrelevant.
