fix: stop centering the viewport on mouse line clicks in diffs - #384
Merged
Conversation
Every line click re-centered the focused line, breaking double-click word selection because the first click moved the content under the cursor. Focus changes now carry their source; only keyboard and programmatic focus keep the centering scroll, while mouse clicks never move the viewport. The inline comment form now scrolls itself fully into view on open with the smallest possible scroll, so clicking a line near the viewport bottom still shows the whole form.
