Opening tiddlywiki always scrolls down to particular tiddler?

[demon...@gmail.com]

This is starting to annoy me more than it should. So, after converting my standard tiddlywiki to a nodejs server, every single time I open my tiddlywiki it scrolls my view down to a particular tiddler. I can just close the tiddler, that's not a problem, problem is that I don't know WHAT is making this and I want to know! What can be the cause of this?

Hi Demoniwaari,

I believe that if you had a tiddler laying around, tagged with $:/tags/StartupAction or $:/tags/StartupAction/Node, which contained an <$action-navigate/> $to the particular tiddler you get scrolled to, it would have the effect you describe (see https://tiddlywiki.com/#StartupActions). Could this be?

Cheers,

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for the input. I don't think this is it. I cannot find any tiddlers that have this tiddler linked. Advanced search does no find anythign if I search with this tiddler's name (well except for the tiddler itself and HistoryList). Even if I close it and open it again and move it around by dragging it in the "open" tab and refresh the browser, it just hops right back to this tiddler. Super weird.

Some questions to ask yourself.

• What is in the default tiddlers?
• Are you using a bookmark/favourite that includes the tiddler in the link?
• If the particular tiddler is a system one let us know
• Check start-up and raw tags for possible causes, look at the content of the tiddlers so tagged

I may think of more

Hi Tones!

- Default tiddlers include only the story, nothing else.

- My bookmark takes to the main story view.

- Nope, just a standard journal tiddler. Just a bunch of text in bullet points. Only tag is "September".

- I could not find any tiddlers tagged with any of the start-up tags or raw tags (as per https://tiddlywiki.com/static/SystemTags.html)

Could it be on the server side? I have very little experience with it...

This might be related to the syncing of $:/StoryList bug:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4868

It might be going back to a saved version of the StoryList. I could be wrong, but perhaps take a look at my ticket from earlier for how I worked around that:

It may be related to that bug, good catch. If so... find the tiddler-text-file for "$:/HistoryList" and open it in a text editor.

The text field will be JSON content, and it will have a title and type field, but there will also be a "current-tiddler" field. DELETE that line entirely.

Restart your server. See if that changes anything. That field may have been written to when you converted the wiki, but is then never synced to the new browser-context value. At least, that what it sound like.

Best,

Haaa it worked!

I noticed that I had the Stroll addon which made its own history list and story lists etc. I checked its "$___sq_Stories_Story2HistoryList.json.meta" file and it had this "current-tiddler" line there. It did not reference to my problematic tiddler, but I deleted it anyway. And boom! No more scrolling!

Thank you Joshua and everyone else :)
