Description Lars Weber 2004-01-24 16:16:40 UTC 
I think it would be very nice if, when leaving a page with lots of text and
scrolled to a certain position open before logging out, that page would
open scrolled to that exact same position again at the next login.

Such behaviour would be pretty helpful in reading long web-pages across
sessions. It would also generally increase the feeling of continuance.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-01-26 20:08:53 UTC 
I think this would end up in a mess for dynamic pages where the page
will change.
Comment 2 Lars Weber 2004-01-26 21:15:14 UTC 
Perhaps checksums could be used to check whether the page is still the
same :)

Anyway ... just leave this bug closed if you consider such an approach
to be overkill!
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-01-26 22:58:25 UTC 
Yeah I feel it a bit like an overkill. Though it's an interesting idea
and I'm going to reopen it since a good impl is teoretically possible.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2004-10-13 10:52:43 UTC 
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 5 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-01-21 20:54:41 UTC 
Updating version fields.
Comment 6 Carlos Garcia Campos 2016-01-14 17:20:01 UTC 
Scroll position will be saved as part of the web view session state. So, marking as duplicate of bug #119432.
