Preview of backlinks fail to auto-scroll to the correct paragraph

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a sandbox vault
  2. Go to page “Create your first note”
  3. Open the backlinks pane
  4. Preview the first backlink “create a vault” by using CTRL + hover.
    (Hover over the block that reads “Now that you’ve set up your vault, you’re ready to [[Create your first note]]”.)

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

Yes

Expected result

The preview auto-scroll to the correct paragraph where the page is mentioned.

Actual result

The preview started from top instead of scrolling to the correct paragraph.
I’ll have to manually search the correct paragraph.
