to reproduce:

• go to tiddlywiki.com
• change the sidebarlayout to fixed-fluid
• close the ControlPanel
• open the dev tools
• go to the Inspector
• add the attribute dir="rtl" to the html element
• open the "Open" sidebar tab
• open the ControlPanel again or a New Tiddler
• see how the sidebar scrolls

to compare, here's a build with this PR:
https://tv-disable-storyview-scroll.tiddlyhost.com/

This fixes also the behavior of scrollIntoView in Chromium browsers (should we use scrollIntoView in the future for the pageScroller) - where a scrollIntoView stops the previous scrollIntoView ... so if we scrolled the ControlPanel into view and had the sidebar's "Open" tab open, the story-river wouldn't scroll to the ControlPanel (or just a bit)

@Jermolene - can we consider this?

@BurningTreeC I am struggling to understand the purpose of this PR despite having read the top post twice. Can you please provide a description of the problem that this is meant to fix?

@Jermolene - could we consider this PR?

Hi @BurningTreeC it's too late for inclusion in v5.3.6, I'm afraid.

I would like to fix the problem that the PR tackles – the symptom that I have run into in the past has been that the animation of the "open" tab interrupts that of the story river.

The impact of this PR is quite broad so I would like to give it more consideration for the next release.
