Changing note name changes scroll position of another note which has multiple links to the changed note

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Open two tabs (notes) side by side like so where one note (tab) is linked in the other note (tab). In this case, I picked the note [[No prior experience]]
  2. In the second tab, add a link to [[No prior experience]] at another location. I’ve done so at the bottom here.
  3. Keep the second note scrolled to anywhere between the top and bottom of the note (this is essential).
  4. Change the name of the note in the first tab.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yup. Used the sandbox vault.

Expected result

No change whatsoever apart from the two links to [[No prior experience]] in the second note/tab getting updated.

Actual result

If your scroll position is not at the top or the bottom of the note, the note jumps to the first instance of the link to the note who’s name you changed which is inconvenient when your note is very long.

Gotcha :+1:

If you can’t edit the post, let me know. I’ll remove that screenshot and you can add a new one after here.
