Flagging a message occasionally causes the browser to lose scroll position – it jumps back XX number of messages.I don’t have a rock solid pattern to reproduce this, but it would seem to happen most on an iPhone (mine is 6s with iOS 12), longer topics (dozens or 100+ messages) and flagging with a custom reason.

This issue has been around a long time (longer than I have used Discourse). I finally decided to report as iOS 12 or Discourse 2.1 upgrade did not seem to make an improvement to this. Not a huge issue of course, as this only impacts busy forums and active flaggers, but kinda weird anyway.
