Description

In particular, after following a link and the back button is pressed, the previous page is displayed at its beginning, rather than at its previous scroll position. Would you consider changing this behavior?

  • Priority changed from 3.x to 4.x

This has to do with Android's WebView history behavior. It might be possible to modify this behavior with Privacy WebView in the 4.x series. I will take a look at it then.

It should be noted that WebView is not consistent with this behavior, for reasons I have not investigated. For example, if you go to stoutner.com, scroll down to the links at the bottom, and click on a link to another part of stoutner.com, when you go back the scroll position of the previous page will be maintained.
