Describe the enhancement you want to request
Description
Please preserve the scroll position of open session tabs when switching between them on desktop.
Current Behavior
When multiple tabs/sessions are open, switching from one tab to another and coming back resets the scroll position, automatically snapping the view all the way down to the bottom.
Proposed Change
Retain each open tab's current scroll position in memory while the session remains open. Returning to an active tab should keep the user exactly where they were reading or editing, rather than forcing an auto-scroll to the bottom.
Benefits
-
Smoother multitasking: Users can compare outputs, copy snippets, or reference details across different open sessions without losing their place.
-
Better reading experience: Eliminates the frustration of having to manually scroll back up to find the previous context every time a tab is refocused.

Thanks for the report and the video!
I think this is a duplicate of #55699, which reports the same thing on Desktop v2: switch to another session and back, and the timeline jumps to the bottom instead of keeping your place.
