Rapid scroll to top behavior when selecting any text in the body of the spec

[kentbull]

Trying to select any text in the body of the spec, such as the word "sub" in "sub-section" below, causes the Spec-Up-T index.html to auto-scroll to the top of the spec. It is really annoying and ruins my spec reading experience.

Reproduction steps:

1. Clone the did:webs spec repo: git clone git@github.com:trustoverip/tswg-did-method-webs-specification.git
2. cd tswg-did-method-webs-specification
3. npm install
4. npm run menu 4 to generate the spec.
5. open docs/index.html
6. Scroll down a few pages so you can see the scroll up behavior.
7. Select any amount of text and observe the rapid scroll up to the top.

Can you check if this behaviour is gone on this demo?

I can select text just as it usually works (tested on Brave and Chrome)

It's working for me. Nice job.

Thanks Kent. There is still something going on, I noticed when I just tried. Will give it another try

When AI can't figure it out, it is time for a “bisect”. I found out that the problem is in CSS, and in the following file: assets/css/external-links.css

No, it's not. I should have run the Chrome browser in INCOGNITO mode from the beginning :-(

I cannot reproduce this bug and it is very time consuming.

Removing the last 50% of the code in assets/css/index.css fixed the bug. Putting it back causes the bug to recur. Removing it again fixes the bug; putting it back causes the bug to recur. Removing it a third time suddenly doesn't fix the bug anymore.

Chrome browser restarting, in cognito mode, hard refresh.

I suspect it is a problem with gulp.js.

That is very odd. Yes, maybe a packaging process is modifying something in an unexpected way.
