I was trying out the ZoomIn navigation with some simple Tiddlers. If I paged-down to the middle of a Tiddler and clicked a link, the second Tiddler was already paged-down the same amount when I would expect it to be at the top of the second Tiddler. When I went back up to the top and used the X button to close the second Tiddler, the first Tiddler was now at the top as well. I was hoping it would return to the paged-down section where I clicked the link in the first place.

This is also an issue in the standard TiddlyWiki naviagtion. Clicking a link scrolls down to the top of the second Tiddler as desired. Closing the second Tiddler leaves me at the bottom of the first Tiddler, and I cannot see the link that I clicked in the first place. This breaks me out of my perusing thought process because I have to hunt for my previous reading location.

Of course, right-click "Open in New Tab" does allow me to see the new Tiddler without losing my place on the original tab. It would be easier to do this if I could use Ctrl-Click on an internal Tiddler link, but this combination gets ignored.

Does anyone else feel this is an impediment to users browsing the linked Tiddlers?

Of course, this "return to where the link was clicked" is the standard behavior when I export the entire Wiki as an HTML file. Clicking any link always goes to the anchor point. Using the back button returns me to the original location showing the link I last clicked..
