Retain the position when going back an article

[Inbefortus]

The preceding section should be maintained when going back and forth, otherwise you have to scroll back to where you were priorly each time, and that makes it in the long term inconvenient.

Thanks, @Inbefortus , I agree. It should "just work" in Service Worker mode, but it doesn't. 😒
In JQuery mode, it would simply be a case of storing the vertical scroll along with the history object, and restoring it on back. Not difficult in principle.

In SW mode, it should indeed "just work". And it does with kiwix-js on Chromium and Firefox.
Could it be because the underlying browser engine is Edge Legacy?

@mossroy This is a bug with my code on Kiwix JS Windows. At some point there is a rogue scroll to top, and the reason for putting it in there is lost in the depths of time (maybe something to do with lazy image loading). I need to trace it, and it shouldn't be hard to fix. I think on Kiwix JS everything works as indended.
