There is some annoying scoll in structure panel each time we edit blocks (add, remove, paste), be it with quick bar or WP add popup or right click insert:
I agree, it is very disconcerting to lose the editing position and have to scroll around to find it again, especially when there is a complex block structure.
For my workflow and the sites I am working on, yes.
I just tested with a large vertical section website. When selecting paragraph, heading and image blocks inside sections, the navigator properly centres the block within itself. When deleting any block, it scrolls off similarly to your screen recording.
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this, although I cannot reproduce what you’re experiencing. I don’t think this specific part was confirmed by @sunny either.
Can you please give me a few details:
The browser you’re using and the editor you’re on (post or site, or both).
If I understand them correctly, it’s the ‘jump’ to the top I experience when adding blocks, especially copy and pasting blocks. Every time I do it I have to hunt down were the new block went. The best way to recreate this is have a full Navigator long enough that you have to scroll through the elements. Then add a new element or paste something in. You will see the jump to the top.
Thank you for confirming that.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this behaviour on my end with the browsers you’ve mentioned. @Araminta has confirmed an issue which we will be addressing, but for what you’re experiencing, I will need some more insight.
Here is an even more disturbing example within the post editor. It looks pretty erratic, and sometimes the selected block is even totally outside the structure viewport:
The same post edited with Firefox is much better, since selected block is always visible in the structure, even if for some blocks the wrong scroll still happens.
Hi team,
Any update regarding this issue?
This is one of the most annoying ever, when working with page structure, impacts workflow a lot.
Thanks in advance
It seems to be MUCH BETTER with 1.3.0.3, THANK YOU!!!
But still, I noticed a small issue: When structure is longer than panel height, i.e. when the whole structure doesn’t fit inside structure panel viewport, clicking on a block in editor canvas doesn’t update structure panel to put selected block in the viewport.
For instance, scroll navigator to bottom, select first block of post in canvas, navigator doesn’t update and we don’t see the highlighted block because it is out of sight.
