IE11 TreeGrid jumps back to the top

[pward@testsys.comParticipant]

Hello,

In IE11, when clicking anywhere in the treegrid that is not visible on the screen without scrolling, the page jumps back to the top. This is especially a problem when one of the nodes in the tree grid is a hyperlink as the grid jumps to the top instead of navigating to the new page.

Steps to duplicate:
1) Open IE11 and resize the window so that the entire grid doesn’t fit in the window.
2) Load this URL: https://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxtreegrid/index.htm#demos/jqxtreegrid/defaultfunctionality.htm
3) Scroll down and click on any element on the tree that is not visible from the top of the treegrid (i.e Antoni Brooke or Chris Ferguson). Notice how the page jumps back to the top.

Thank you

Are you scheduling a fix? And if so, when would it be available?

Hi pward,

Actually, this is a web browser behavior. When an element gets the focus it auto-scrolls the page to it. This indeed is a behavior which some users do not like, but in general it’s something built-in the particular web browser. For now, we do not know whether this behavior can be prevented.

Version 3.2.2 of jqWidgets doesn’t seem to have the IE11 jumping issue.

Hi pward,

It is not version dependent behavior. If there is focus which is required for Keyboard navigation, it will behave that way.
