"Insert template" in separate window scrolls to top

Steps to reproduce

In sandbox vault:

  1. Make a folder and set it as the template folder location in Settings > Templates.
  2. Make 2 non-blank templates.
  3. Navigate to a page other than “Start Here”, open "Start Here’ in a new window, and place cursor at the bottom of the page.
  4. Use Command Palette > Templates: Insert template and select a template.

Expected result

  • Template content is inserted.
  • Scroll position doesn’t change unless needed to accommodate the new text.

Actual result

  • Template content is inserted.
  • Page scrolls to top.
  • Cursor remains at end of inserted text. Typing any key will scroll most (but in my test, not all) of the way down to it.

Environment

  • Operating system: MacOS 12.5
  • Debug info:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Custom theme: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

Additional information

The behavior also appears if using a hotkey instead of the Command Palette. I didn’t try the sidebar button because the window had no sidebar.

With only 1 template in the templates folder:

  • The text is inserted without a template selection pop-up.
  • The page doesn’t scroll to the top.
