Browsing Files, opening one, browsing takes back to top of Files

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

On Android (Z Fold 6 in my case)

  1. Open a vault with a lot of folders with at least one folder having many files in it
  2. Swipe right and click Files
  3. Navigate down into a folder with a lot of files
  4. Tap a file to open it
  5. Swipe right to reveal the files panel

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y

Expected result

The position in the folder structure is maintained and the current file is selected

Actual result

The top level folder is displayed and I have to navigate all the way back (scroll a long time). The expanded folders are still “open” but I need to swipe down until I found where I was.

Environment

v1.7.7 (171)

Unless I’m going crazy, it used to work OK on Android. On Windoze Desktop this is not an issue as it keeps the Files pane in the same state when you switch to Search/Bookmarks etc. or if you close/open the left pane. It’s noticable for me as I have 54,000 files including 4,300 people with, in some cases, 100s of dated YYYY-MM-DD files in a person’s folder.

Is this rolled out already? I am on Android 12 running Obsidian 1.7.7 and the file pane keeps jumping back to top after closing. While Catalyst release seems to have it, the last public version is difficult to use without this fix.
