After creating a new content element in page module or deleting one, scroll back to where I left
0%
Description
Use case: As an editor, in the backend, I use the Page module to edit content on a long page with lots of content elements. I scroll down to some content element on say half of the page and edit it. Then I want to edit that same element again (because I forgot something, after checking the outcome in the frontend) or I want to continue with the element right below.
Currently: After having edited my element and clicking close or save, I am being redirected back to the top of the page module. That is really annoying because I have to search and scroll again until I find the element I was editing.
This could be easily improved as follows: After saving/closing a content element, I am being redirected back to the anchor / height of that element so that I can easily spot it again.

The feature exists for editing existing elements but not for creating new ones.

Is this a regression? see #70074

It seems so. Please note that the feature works for editing existing elements, but not for creating new ones.
(Actually what I really want as an editor is to create and edit elements without page reloads, but as long as we have them, returning back to the right content element is clearly the lower hanging fruit ;-)

@ Moritz Ahl thank you for your reply and clarification; then it is not a regression - if this does not exist yet for creating new content elements, do you mind if I change this issue to "feature"?
Updated by Moritz Ahl about 5 years ago
hmm #700074 description says "SHOULD: It should jump to the element I just edited or created". Since the ticket was closed I thought that it was implemented, so I considered it a bug. But anyway go ahead as you like :-)

I see your point. I'll keep it as it is
Best regards and thanks for your time.

- PHP Version changed from 7.3 to 8.1
- Complexity deleted (
easy)
This is a issue feels super annoying for editors and it's present over the last 3-4 TYPO3 LTS Versions. A lot editors (often also during training session) ask if this can be fixed. This behavior happens also when content is deleted.
If we setup a clean TYPO12 System and we add 3 Text Elements with 100 words lorem ipsum, the scroll jumps starts to happen, when we add new elements or delete some.
If you will delete the last 3 elements on a page with 15 elements you have to do a lot of scrollling and you have still to find the right place(refocus) if the content is not at the end.
I dont't think its a bug but it would be a great feature for the daily life of an TYPO3 Editor :)

Hi,
I was just about to open the same topic as a ticket, but came across this one. I can confirm what Oliver wrote, this is a point that is regularly addressed by customers. I'm currently doing some content work myself and the behavior is a real pain on pages with lot of content, both for newly created elements and for those to be deleted.
If we want to do something good for the editors, then we need to get this feature solved.
Many greeting,
Christoph

Hi,
is there any update on the status of this feature request?
Thanks for any info!

@cosmoblonde GmbH Some annoying scroll issues are improved by installing the extension scroll
(I cannot remember exactly which ones and if this is one of them, but it did improve the situation when I tested it a while ago).

@Sybille Peters Thanks for this hint! It solves indeed our requirement for scrolling back to the last position when creating or deleting an element.

Our customer also finds the behaviour here unpleasant and wishes for improvement.
