Browser scrolls to first Aloha Editor instance [#1809620]

Hi,

i use Aloha editor in Commons. When i open a Node(any content with a comment field) the cursor jumps automatically to comment. By a long Body field its a big problem, cause the user have to scroll up.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your feedback! :)

This is work-around for an AE bug. I can only get the AE UI to become visible at all when the corresponding editable is *active*. And it only becomes active by giving it focus.
See http://drupalcode.org/project/aloha.git/blob/90dca286131a31e3231b913bd3d....

Once #1789240: Ensure Aloha Editor UI can be *always* present, not only when actively editing ("static toolbar", prevents flashing) is solved, we won't need to "activate" it anymore, and then we won't have this problem anymore.

Not marking this as a duplicate though because I'm sure others will report this as well :)

Thank you for the answere.

I think i have a solution to evade this "jumping".

I have outcommented the line: Aloha.jQuery('#' + id).focus().trigger('mousedown').trigger('mouseup');
So now the Aloha-Editor-Line appears just if i click on the text Field, but it doesnt jump.
I think this is how it should work, because if i want to edit something, then i will click there for sure :)

Now it looks like:
...
Aloha.getEditableById(id).activate();
// This hack will trigger the floating menu to appear *immediately*.
//Aloha.jQuery('#' + id).focus().trigger('mousedown').trigger('mouseup');
},
...

I also agree that we should remove this hack that gives the first editor focus. I understand the reason for making the toolbar visible on the first editor, but the hack to make it appear is worse than the original problem of it not being visible.
