Hi, has anybody experienced that voyager forgets it's scroll position after closing the link in the internal browser?

Mine always reverts to home then I lose my scroll position in my all feed.

Just tried it out and was not able to recreate it. Although I did only open the link for a short period of time. Do you notice a difference depending on the amount of time the link is open or does it always happen for youยฟ?

In any case if you are able to reproduce, maybe you should a bug report on github

Interesting. It does not happen all the time, sometimes it's normal and more often than not it goes back to home.

But I'll look into the time aspect as you said. Maybe I would see s difference in result depending on how long I was using the internal browser.

If in case it is time related, do you think that the phone thinks that voyager has excited when I'm using the browser thus it has purged the current session and when I exit the browser it returns me to a relaunched voyager session?

My thought process was more that voyager is a web app and that at some level it behaves like a web page so if the app is in the background for a period of time determined by the available ram, power saving settings of the software + some other criteria, the page may reload when you go back again to app leading to you being bought back to home and losing all your scrolling.

I see this behaviour with web pages. When I move to another tab and then return to the original tab I was on, the web page loaded in the tab reloads sometimes and the scroll position is back to the top

That's very unfortunate. I hope it's a limitation that could be solved in the future.

Other than that I'm very much satisfied with Voyager. It's so much intuitive and fun to use.
