What happened?

I’m using WebView2 in my application and noticed that scroll position is not preserved after navigating back.

I have a list of around 100 links on a single page. When I scroll down and click a link near the middle or bottom, I navigate to a new page. But when I press the back button, the scroll position resets to the top of the page.

This behavior does not occur in regular browsers like Google Chrome, where the scroll position is preserved after back navigation.

Importance
