feature "Edit without losing your place" NOT working

Question

When you click the EDIT button, the page goes/jumps all the way back up, even IF I click the EDIT button while being at the bottom of the page.

I really want to edit the last section of this very long page, so I first scroll down to the bottom of the page then click EDIT, but then it jumps back to the top???

Something is NOT right and I am not sure how to fix that.

Please help.

Confluence is saying that there is NOW a new feature (that was 3 years ago)

That new feature is called:  "Edit without losing your place"

which is exactly what we are trying to do, BUT it is not working in our server installation.

Can anyone please help.

Thank you.

Hi @Michel_Levy

Our troubleshooting process lead us that this is definitively some kind of bug. It least I think that this is a bug..

I dig into the details and I found that this is actually a already reported...  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-57520

I suggest you to vote and watch it to be up to date with updates.

We have been very frustrated with this issue. Our Confluences pages are very long and as soon as you click the edit button, Confluence set you back to the top of the page.

Very annoying and frustrating.

It appeared to work in Firefox, but not really since my Firefox was pointing to the cloud version we had and not the actual server we have now setup since then...

Is Atlassian purposely failing such a feature to force us into buying a plugin?

I wish someone from Atlassian would help us solve this issue.

Thank you.

We made some progress.

We were able to make this work in Firefox(only for 1 user, the others still are having issues) , but Chrome/Vivaldi/Opera are still not working for us.

We disabled all extensions in chrome and it is still not working.

Chrome is still the browser we prefer to use and would be great if we could find either a patch or solution for this issue.

Thank you.
