If I am reading a topic but haven’t reached a post yet, I will get a blue notification in the top right corner. If I click on this notification, and click on the ‘goto’ link, I see what looks like a page refresh and then it goes to the topic post (that is sometimes one post below the one I was reading)

Proposal: Check if I’m in the topic I’m about to jump to. If I am, cancel the page refresh style navigation and use a page anchor jump (or similar) instead to prevent the page from refreshing. (This process might need to address your page loads though, it might have to be topic + current page for the anchor)
