Hello! I am planning to upgrade to 5.1.9 today, so I initiated a blank wiki to test it out. For context, I am running TiddlyWiki on Node.js and tested the below on Waterfox and Safari.
I have two issues:
(1) Tiddlers tagged with $:/tag/Macros do not animate properly after saving. It jumps to the top of the page instead of the tiddler itself. This only happens when you save it; it behaves normally when you discard the changes.
I've tried other shadow tiddlers (entering and exiting the editing interface by either saving or discarding changes) and cannot replicate the same pattern, but the three macro shadow tiddlers I've tried -- $:/core/macros/toc, $:/core/macros/tabs and $:/core/macros/color-picker -- give me the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter it is a modified shadow tiddler or not.
I have also tagged a normal tiddler with $:/tag/Macros and it starts to jump to the top of the page as well. Removing the tag returns it to normal behaviour.
It is a minor issue, but the first couple of times it happened it really confused me. I would press the edit button thinking I'm still at the same tiddler. Sorry if it's already been brought up. Is there something I should've done to fix this?

(2) This is less of an issue but more of a... could someone ELI5 this to me question.
When I first started using TW, I followed this post to make my table of contents collapse automatically. I'm checking out the toc macro in 5.1.9 and I see that this line:
<$set name="toc-state" value=<<qualify """$:/state/toc$path$-$(currentTiddler)$""">>>
has been cleaned up to
<$qualify name="toc-state" title={{{ [[$:/state/toc]addsuffix<__path__>addsuffix[-]addsuffix<currentTiddler>] }}}>
I changed the title to {{{ [[$:/state/toc/]<tag>] }}} and it worked but to be honest I have no idea what I was doing; I was just trying to make sure it's as close to the code in the post I linked above.
[$:/state/toc] in square brackets because it's plain text value... right?
What's the difference between the changes I made with {{{ [[$:/state/toc/]$(tag)$] }}} ? Wait or is it $tag$ ???
In the qualify macro, the triple curly brackets are used because it needs to tranclude the addsuffix filters... right? So, if I don't need to transclude filter values, would it mean that I can just change it to """$:/state/toc/$tag$""" ? Am I getting it completely wrong? I am, right? Gosh.
Then... Looking at the code Andreas made in the post I linked, could anyone ELI5 how exactly does it work differently than the default toc macro here?
I know the reveal widget has been modified to look for <<currentTiddler>> instead of the text "open", but how does <<currentTiddler>> fit into the value set in <<toc-state>>?
Why is it that the reveal widget sets to "x-all-close" when it matches in toc-linked-selective-single-expandable-body but not in unlinked-selective-single-expandable-body?
Sorry for the long list of questions... I've been using this macro for so long and it's beginning to bug me that I don't understand how it works. Would greatly appreciate some pointers. To be honest, all the brackets still confuse me today, even though I've starred this and refer to it frequently. Thank you!
Best,

Pudding,
To be honest I get a bit confused reading your "Questions". The best I can offer right now is suggest you look at this reference work (IN Draft) I am building and see if it can answer some of your questions. Feedback appreciated.
Regards
Tony
