Please don't have the tool scroll down to "recovered changes" when I'm trying to view a diff, I'm definitely not writing a reply from a diff page. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 09:15, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230827091500","author":"Theleekycauldron","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Theleekycauldron-20230827091500-A_gripe","replies":["c-Thebiguglyalien-20230906183900-Theleekycauldron-20230827091500","c-Matma_Rex-20230909232900-Theleekycauldron-20230827091500"]}}-->

Similar issue: please don't have the tool scroll down after the discussion is closed. There's no option to delete my reply draft at that point, so it scrolls down every time I open the talk page, and then later whenever I open the relevant archive.

@Thebiguglyalien That seems like a bug. I filed T345986, but I'm not sure if this is the same problem as you're seeing, as I could only reproduce it in the mobile version. Can you share some more details about which discussion in particular is exhibiting the problem for you? (In the worst case, the draft will expire after 30 days…) Matma Rex talk 23:33, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230909233300","author":"Matma Rex","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Matma_Rex-20230909233300-Thebiguglyalien-20230906183900","replies":["c-Thebiguglyalien-20230909235500-Matma_Rex-20230909233300"]}}-->
Matma Rex, yes, that is the problem that I'm having. It is negligible on desktop in the sense that the "Loading..." disappears quickly, but the problem is that when it's lower in the page, it will scroll me all the way down so I can watch the "Loading..." disappear. It's the mildest of inconveniences, but there's no way to prevent it from my end once the discussion is closed.

@Theleekycauldron I think that might be just you, people can and probably do write replies from diff pages, e.g. after clicking on the diff links from their watchlist (although I can't prove it unless someone volunteers to admit it). By the way, I'm not sure if it fits your workflow, but if you want to see only the diffs on diff pages, you can set "Do not show page content below diffs" in Special:Preferences → Appearance → Diffs (I've used this option for years).
