When scrolling to a long post, that does not fit on my screen, using j keyboard shortcut, I get to see the following:

This can also reproduced by scrolling upward with k on any post.

AFAIK, j/k are a go to next/last and not scrolling (you use arrow up/down to scroll).

For example:

But for starters: ###Allow user to add category classes in the category edit popup, like this: ###Dom location 1 - List of Categories The new class names would be added to the TR element shown below when a list of categories are being displayed. I say TR as opposed to the child TD which is classed as category, because that…

The post above is huge, and doesn’t fit a 1080p monitor, and when using j/k I can’t read it.

The current approach **center** the selected post, maybe putting it at the **top** of the screen would be better.

Wow, that post is even worse.

Interestingly, small posts (including the one I linked) actually do scroll the view to the top but scroll too much so that the beginning is hidden under the fixed header. This is mostly noticable when scrollung upward with k.

Scrolling with j is only an issue for large posts, like yours, where it’s completely broken, or mine, where it’s not as broken but still not right.
