Safari on iOS7 scroll back to top?

Hi Everyone,
Any help would be much appreciated. Usually when you are reading a webpage in safari on the iphone, and leave that page in the middle of reading to go use a different app or function on the phone (meaning you go back to your home screen), and then you come back to what you were reading a little while later (i'm thinking there is a time limit on this), the webpage may need to reload. Before it iOS update, safari would hold your place and you could continue reading where you left off, wherever that might be. Now with the new iOS7, when you return to reading, if safari does need to reload the page, it reloads back to the top of the page.
I guess I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this? This can be extremely annoying when I constantly lose my place. New crap feature of iOS7, my personal preference for a webpage to stay in place, or something that can be changed in the Settings I haven't found yet?
Many many thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have!

I have this same issue. It also happens when you try to go back a page. There have been times when I'm browsing a rather large, long site that loads more stuff as you reach the bottom. In the old ios if you accidentally clicked on something you could just click the back button and it would go back to where you were. Now when you try to go back a page even after only a second, it reloads the entire page (and thus going back to the top and undoing all the stuff you loaded). It also does this for me if you switch between tabs in safari. Switching to another tab for even a few seconds will reload the old tab once you go back to it. Very annoying!

After updating to ios5 the shortcut 'tapping top of screen' to scroll back to top does not work! Is there a way to get that back?

Since updating my ipad2 to iOS 5 the shortcut 'tap top of screen to quickly scroll back to top' no longer functions! How can I get this back?

It still works on my iPad - is it working on any of your apps e.g. Safari, Mail, Notes, and are you touching right at the top of the screen (I've seen a few other posts implying that the area of the screen that you need to touch isn't quite as deep as it used to be) ? Have you tried a reset to see if it works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

JTree scrollbar problem - can't scroll back to top when some nodes hidden

I have a problem which I cannot resolve: I have a JTree which has had 88 rows added to it, and which then has 15 or so rows set to be not visible; when I then scroll to the bottom of the pane I am unable to scroll all the way back to the top using either the scroll button at the top of the bar or the mouse scroll wheel although I can drag the knob to get to the top; using the button or wheel, the scrolling stops somewhat short of the top; via testing I've found that the AdjustmentEvent is not fired when it reaches that point. Anyone seen this before and/or know a way around it?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

It turns out that my problem was due to the fact that I am using my own TreeCellRenderer which makes invisible some nodes via user option but doesn't reload the tree; hence the confusion as to the scrollbar size. I now correctly reload after user option has changed rather than render nodes invisible and all is fine. Which reinforces Andrew's view in reply #1 that a 'vague waving about of hands' does not allow the forum members to help.

Every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Safari back button goes back to Top Sites rather than search results

When I launch Safari, it begins at the Top Sites page. I use the unified search/URL bar to search something on Google. I click on one of the results and decide that's not the answer I wanted so I hit the back arrow in Safari to go back to the search results, but Safari doesn't do that. It skips the search I did and goes all the way back to Top Sites. The Google search never happened as far as Safari is concerned. What's going on?
Details:
Safari 6.0.4
Mac OS X 10.8.3

Do any search, either in the URL bar or by going to www.google.com (doesn't matter what you search for as the results are irrelevant). Once you're at the search results page, you'll see a cog wheel icon on the upper right. Looks like this:
This is the search settings button. Click it and navigate down to "Search Settings". Once at this page, look halfway down to find the "Google Instant Predictions" section. Change the option to "Never show Instant Results." Scroll all the way down and save your changes.
I'm betting with you... I think its the Focus on the User extension. Good luck.

With the new io5 on safari how do you get back to top of the page quickly

With the new io5 on safari how do you get back to top of the page quickly?

Same way as before - click on the top. But the area to click seems to be slightly lower ... aim for the touch of the grey and black instead of the black.

ITunes Store window automatically scrolls back to the top of the page

Hey gang -
I have a problem that is really quite funny except for the fact that I am so frustrated I could cry.
Computer/software: MacBook OSX 10.4.11 with iTunes 7.6
This just started on my Macbook: I open the iTunes store and when I try to navigate down the page, the second I "let go" of my scroll the window immediately scrolls back to the top of the page. This seems to be happening on all pages in the iTunes store. No other program seems to be affected, neither is my library within iTunes - just the store. This happens when I use the trackpad, the scroll bars and my bluetooth mouse.
I can't get any iTunes content beyond the height of my Macbook window! It is maddening!
I have closed and opened iTunes several times and rebooted twice. Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hi There
I had the same problem and im using iTunes 7.6.1 (9)
The problem seems to be related to what kind of firewall your behind.
The network I'm on at the moment is very strict and will not allow anything else than www basicly. So I connected to a different network via VPN and use it as my default gateway. iTunes stops scrolling back after I connect to this network (a restart of iTunes might be needed). And I think this is the only place that iTunes has acted up. Think it works fine at my home lan.
Hope this helps and that you haven't thrown your mac out the window!

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.

Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.

Why does Safari (version 7.0.6) startup page switch back to top sites?

I have tried setting preferences, under the General Tab, to have new windows open with Home Page, which works fine so long as I don't quit Safari. However, whenever I quit Safari and then relaunch it (i.e., every time I restart my computer), the default setting changes back to Top Sites.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

How can I stopMail messages on my iPad 3 from scrolling back to the top on their own?

When replying to an email message if I scroll down to read a previous message in the thread the screen keeps scrolling back to the top of my reply. I don't recall setting it up to do this. Is there some way to stop it?

It should not do that unless you tap the top of the screen for the quick scroll to the top feature.
You can try quitting the mail app completely and then restart the iPad to see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn help - try a reset.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Screen jumps back to top of the report when a tab is clicked

Hello everyone.
I have a report that displays quite a lot of information and has a lot of tabs.
Now on my work monitor everything fits on the screen fine so there's no problem.
When someone with laptop (smaller screen) uses the report they have to scroll down to view everything which is fine. The problem is when they scroll down and click on a tab, the screen shoots back up to the very top of the report and the user has to scroll back down again.
Hopefully I explained that well enough.
Is there anything I can do to get the screen to not move when they select a tab?
Thanks for any help on this.
Kieran

One last bump!
Thought it was possibly a problem with the curser focus always being at the top of the screen, but changing that didn't seem to do anything.
Anyone got any ideas at all?

The scroll back gesture to the previous page, even after i sign out of my email account or Facebook anyone can still be able to see the content in the accounts just by scrolling back using the gesture.

the scroll back gesture to the previous page, even after i sign out of my email account or Facebook anyone can still be able to see the content in the accounts just by scrolling back using the gesture. how can i stop safari from showing the content of my accounts?

Try calling Tech Support, they should be able to check to see if theres a lock and try to help you reset it, I had to call and get my account unflagged, for something that I didn't even do.

On opening when I start to type in the google box the page slips to the bottom making it necessary to scroll to the top and hope it stays there. What can be done to correct that

I have a HP Media Center PC with XP Professional with all 3 fixes. I don't know what more details you need. When I start page comes up for Firefox it is properly positioned. When I start to type in the search box of Google it jumps to the bottom of the page making it necessary for me to scroll back to the top before I can try to type again. Very annoying!

Do you have the Google Toolbar installed?
