Description
This ticket involves the work of deciding how we will adjust the current scroll transition (50% of viewport) so that upon tapping the Edit full page button T409112 introduces, people will:
- Become clear more content is now available for them to edit
- Retain an understanding of "where" they are in relation to where they had been focused immediately before tapping the button
Decision(s) to be made
- What scroll transition will we move forward with?
- 130px scroll (~15%): https://2f6cac16b5.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams
Approaches
- ⭐️ 130px scroll (~15%): https://2f6cac16b5.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams
Done
- 130px scroll (~15%) is implemented
- Over-scrolling bug is fixed; see Slack

Event Timeline
Per offline discussions, we're going to move forward with the 130 px / 15% scroll approach.
Thinking:
- People will find a nominal scroll familiar for it is consistent with what would've happened when they initially tapped an Edit button to arrive into the editing interface
- A nominal scroll will both a) make clear to people that more content is available for them to see/edit and b) enable people to feel grounded for what they are likely to have been looking edit prior to tapping Edit full page will still be in view

[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] Set full page scroll to 130px
The scroll jump is caused by images lazy-loading in the section above. Minerva has a rule that makes images responsive, but we don't want to apply that in VE.
