When opening new tabs, they get scrolled all the way into view.
Actual result
Sometimes, the view doesn’t scroll far enough.

Screen recording here, in which I’m ⌘-clicking to open new tabs and ⌘W-ing to close them.
It seems to vary depending on some complicated state, including which notes you’re opening, though if you re-open/close the same sequence of notes in a row it’s usually fairly consistent. The first stacked tab (i.e. the first time the scroll animation would be expected) seems to do it pretty consistently.
This seems to be related to this previously reported bug about the scroll not animating, except if the “Default view for new tabs” setting is set to “Editing view”, then the failure mode changes—instead of not animating at all, it briefly animates and then stops short. When using a consistent sequence of notes that’s reproducing it, the same sequence generally triggers the non-animating bug if you change the setting.
It may be something to do with reading the previous scroll position; in some cases closing the topmost tab scrolls a little bit too far back, and in those cases, scrolling manually before opening a new tab seems to affect whether the bug happens.
It seems like this happens more often when using the Minimal Theme.
Reproduced in Obsidian/installer 1.3.5 on MacOS 13.4.1 by following the repro steps listed.
I tested twice, closing the sandbox vault between. I stacked the tabs when there was only 1 tab (the 1 that’s there when you open the vault). In each test I Cmd-clicked a different handful of notes from the file browser. Both times the first note I clicked only came out a little way, and subsequent notes came out all the way. In one of the tests I closed out all but the original tab and Cmd-clicked a new handful of notes and saw the same behavior.
Sometimes the newly opened tabe is 80% obscured, not fully visible.
(I’ll have to manually click it to make it fully visible.)

When the 1st, 2nd and 4th new tab were opened, they displayed fully. However, the 3rd and the last new tab were not shown fully when opened.
I had this behaviour for quite some while now and it finally annoyed me enough to go to the forums. Unfortunately, I did not find this thread in my searches, so I opened a new thread).
I triggered the bug in my steps to reproduce a little bit differently. I control-clicked links in the notes that opened but I can also reproduce this bug reliably the way it is describe in this thread. I also included gifs.

If you are interested I can also provide the Debug info output from an affected Windows 11 machine.
@WhiteNoise, could you maybe retry reproducing this in the most recent sandbox? It is really going on my nerves…
So my screens resolution is 2560x1440. The window I tested last with was 2560x1409 (but I can also trigger the bug if the window is smaller (but wide enough for multiple notes).
If you are referring to font size: I used control+scrollwheel to change it and the bug still happened. I expected to reset the font with control+0 but I believe that resets the UI zoom (which I had at default already).
In my tries to no be able to reproduce it I noticed a few things.
It happens every other note open, if I just keep continuing opening the same note in a new tab
If there is only enough space for one note to be visible the bug will not happen (end of gif) → make sure your have a wide enough window to try to reproduce the bug
I have mine on MacOS set to 1280 × 800 (to align evenly with the screen’s physical resolution and for more readable size; the default setting is 1440 × 900).
