scroll_to_view(true) problem

    scroll_to_view(true) doesn't seem to work in all situations. For example, with html:

    
<html>
	<head>
		<style>

		#box
		{

			border: 1px solid blue;
			height: 70px;
			width: 100px;
			overflow: auto;

		}

		</style>
	</head>
	<body>

		<br>

		<div id="box">

			<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

			<div id="ScrollToMe">
				Hello!
			</div>

			<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

		</div>
	</body>
</html>

    scroll_to_view(true) on <div id="ScrollToMe"> sets the element to just outside of the div (and not visible). scroll_to_view(false) works fine.

    Can you confirm this effect? (I've only tested with HTMLite)

    scroll_to_view(true) doe not work properly. I'll fix it in the next build.

    Following up on scroll_to_view(true) - it doesn't appear to be fixed in the recent build.

    I've got request to modify scroll_to_view to accept more options:

    enum scroll_to_view_options
{
  scroll_to_view_lazy,
  scroll_to_view_top,
  scroll_to_view_middle,
  scroll_to_view_bottom,
}

    scroll_to_view_lazy is what I am doing now on false
    scroll_to_view_top is a variation of current true but if element is already in the view then force it to be on top. Other values are similar to scroll_to_view_top but to middle/bottom.

    Does it makes sense?

    Makes sense.

    scroll_to_view_top would make the user experience more consistent, because each time the user triggers the scroll_to_view, the scroll position would be consistent, even if the element is already in view.

    This would be a useful addition.

    Just adding that having scroll_to_view_top, forcing the element to top even when it's already in view would be well received.

    It can be quite confusing without this (for the end user). My app has a commenting system, much like this BBPress. Imagine going to a fragment identifier (for example: http://terrainformatica.com/forums/topic.php?id=12&page&replies=7#post-238 ) but not having it jump to the top of the page.

    I wonder if scroll_to_view_top should almost be default for scroll_to_view(true) (instead of the current scroll_to_view_lazy).
