Hello,

I noticed when I go to a topic where I earlier read a few post than it will not continue from that post where I stoped reading.

Now it seems to the read position is the onscreen last post instead of the onscreen first post.

Demo: On the video I scroll to the 14th post and go back to topic list. Than I open it again and it goes to the 18th post instead of 15th.

Yeah something changed because it should also scroll to the last seen line. I think I move it to #Contribute > Bug.

Edit: It seems to it jumps to the last seen line when the post highlight animation ends.  
This is because the last seen line is only shows up after the highlight animation (or post loads).

Thank you 🙂
