How to prevent scroll on liveview updates

Phoenix Forum Questions / Help

I have a use case where clients are working through a list of items, and those items are being re-arranged as part of the liveview update events. They are working through the list top to bottom and this was fine - no scrolling - on 0.20.6 . Now I am upgrading to 0.20.14 and when an item is moved , that same item is scrolled to, losing the place where the client was.

I would like to have this behave like it did in 0.20.6 where I can make updates on the screen visible, but not scroll to the item being altered/updated.

I am relatively new to Liveview so I am reaching out. I read a number of other entries that are targeted at being able TO scroll. I want the opposite - just no automatic scrolling at all.

You currently have to solve this in the update hook, I’ve accomplished this by storing the scroll position and then reapply it on update.

Otherwise opening an issue would be a good idea, if you believe it’s a breaking change.
