Build ID: 20140608211132

Steps to reproduce:

1) open some page;
2) open html inspector from context menu entry ("inspect element"). Visible page area will be reduced ~ by half;
3) click html tags at the top of html code and see highlighted areas on html page;
4) click html tags at the bottom part of html code. Highlighed areas on html page will be outside visible area;


Actual results:

Highlighted area in renreded page is invisible (outside window).
I must scroll page to interesting area to see inspected elements on it.


Expected results:

Page scrolls to make visible every inspected tag (as it was in firefox 28.0).

We recently added a 'scroll into view' context menu item in the inspector, currently available in Firefox Nightly ( 40 ) only:

Because we have "scroll into view" context menu item, I think we can close this. PAtrick, what do you thing about it ?

We don't want to re-introduce the auto scroll we used to have a long time ago.
It was removed for several reasons, bust mostly for parity with other devtools.

As Nicolas and Jeff said, we do have a scroll-into-view context menu in the inspector you can use for this.
