You mentioned 20 and 19 as unaffected, so I take it, this is a regression?

(In reply to Aaron Train [:aaronmt] from comment #4) > Oh. > > Bug 835241 Yep. So this is working "as designed". A forced reload will always drop the scroll position. The too features are mutually exclusive. Closing as WONTFIX unless we get a desire to backout bug 835241, but I think we had good reasons for landing the forced reload.
