1597185 - Hitting `esc` while viewing an image returns to the top of the page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1594345

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

As explained by the reporter in https://webcompat.com/issues/43933 :

When reading a multi-screen article, clicking on an image to view it magnified (for instance as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France#/media/File:Jacques-Louis_David_-_The_Emperor_Napoleon_in_His_Study_at_the_Tuileries_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg ) and then leaving this viewer (either by esc or clicking the x button) returns to the top of the main article, rather to the "scroll location" from which it was clicked. This means that when one first reads the article and then wants to view the images in magnification, he is returned to the top of the page and forced to scroll back down after each image.

I strongly believe this bug has appeared rather recently (I don't remember being annoyed by that before) and is not present in Google Chrome.

I have done a mozregression for it.

which points to Bug 1563587
fixed by Olli in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D41199

to note https://www.fxsitecompat.dev/en-CA/docs/2019/history-navigation-methods-are-now-asynchronous/

so Maybe to check if wikipedia is doing something weird with UA detection.
