Vertical scroll position of modal saves between openings

[GooDVim]

I use a default modal like in a documentation: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals
I open a modal for a first time ('Launch demo model' button), scroll down and click 'Close'. Everything is ok.

Then I open it again and it is already scrolled down. Modal has the same position where it was closed.

Is it a normal behavior? And how could I open the modal for a second time in top scroll position?

P.S. I am sorry if I write it in wrong place, but I did find an answer on my question in the documentation.

👍 I'm also experiencing this issue; Wondering if this is a Feature or a Bug.

I only experience this in FireFox so I've decided to use the following solution to achieve the behavior I would like in my project...

$ =>
  $('body').on 'shown.bs.modal', '.modal', (event) =>
    $(event.target).scrollTo(0,0);

What's the use case for not saving the modal's position?

@cvrebert - In my case I wanted consistent behavior when the user clicked a "Preview" button which popped a model. The user would clicked preview, pop modal, scroll down, close modal, make an edit, then re-clicked the preview button only to be met with the modal scrolled 1/2 down with different looking content from the last modal.

To support both reset and non-reset use cases, it seems better to have modals remember their position by default. It's easier to force a modal to forget its position than to add position-saving to a forgetful modal.
When reset is desired, all that's needed is a simple event callback like @veloper demonstrated.

But adding a built-in option to auto-reset the position seems fairly reasonable.

@cvrebert - I also feel it's important to report that my desired behavior (snap back to top on show) is the default behavior on all browsers except Firefox (according to our QA).

I can confirm this observation between Chrome (always snaps to top on show) and Firefox (remembers position on show -- even after a page refresh via Command+R) on my mac in local dev.

Cheers!

@veloper I can't reproduce. Using the Bootstrap docs example (http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals ), both Chrome 31 and Firefox 25.0.1 on Mac OS X remember the modal's position when I scroll, dismiss, and then reopen.

@cvrebert - No worries then, I think we're using an older version of BS3 (Bootstrap v3.0.0) and if you can't reproduce in the v3.0.2 then all the better as the modals current behavior seems to be consistent across all browsers.

Thanks for checking into this!
