Investigate timeline scrolling issues #23539
Description
There are a number of issues around scrolling in the timeline that, individually and together, can make for a quite poor experience in certain cases:
- Scrolling: Stuck in scroll loop #23208
- Scrolling: Clicking on a permalink often ends up with the permalink being scrolled off the screen #23393
- Scrolling: "Jump to first unread message" / Read Marker is really annoying element-meta#1418
- Scrolling: Improving jumps on timeline pagination/scrolling #8565
- Scrolling: Ability to scrollback can get stuck #18325
Before engaging in a larger rewrite of the timeline code, we'll need data points on whether or not it's possible to fix these issues with reasonable time investments. Therefore, the idea is to attempt fixes on two of the existing issues under this epic and use the outcome to drive further decision making.
