Always jumps to the description part #2499

hi! @merlin555 you can check the fix here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/improve-youtube-test-for/lodjfjlkodalimdjgncejhkadjhacgki |
(to be closed when the main version is updated) |
Google is delaying the update. (Our Beta with 20000 users is updated quickly or automated often). |
Works well so far. Thanks! Forgot to mention, the problem only occurs when you open the video in a new TAB. |
How much delay? Didn't change that. Description should expand as soon as it is loaded or maybe after 0.x seconds - if it loaded late. The addition/change is only to deny youtube's scripts to scroll in the right moment. youtube/js&css/web-accessible/www.youtube.com/appearance.js Lines 458 to 484 in 6171f18

Happening on Firefox 128.0.3 |
Let's say 0.3 - 0.5 seconds. I've never had this problem under Firefox v128.0.3 until now. |
If the "Auto Cinema Mode" (Player) is turned on in the settings, it doesn't work. Reloading the page (F5 key) always solves the problem. |
So you only got the bug with both features enabled? @merlin555 - Cinema mode is new(@SanderDebets); (Auto requires the button to be enabled too as you noticed) & reminded me to also release General: "Dim Youtube's Pages, except what I mouse-over!" (can you compare that? We don't have to hide stuff completely. But it can depend both mouse-over (hover) and pause/play (and we can allow to set the exact percentage of transparency)
|
The thing about “Cinema Mode” was wrong. |
thanks @merlin555, with the fix or without? |
With 4.1077 the problem is always there. |
forbidding the scrolling for 3.6s instead of 1.2s in background tabs

I am not quite sure what you are asking me. All I know is I am on the Firefox version and it is jumping the page down to about the description on nearly every video and I'm quickly growing tired of this bug. It wasn't doing this before and I'd like to know what is causing it and more importantly how to fix it. |
@Corruptinglyneedful |
It has been doing it a number of weeks now. It is still doing it today. Is there a setting I should untick/tick because I don't have the description set to show. I have to click show more. |
@Corruptinglyneedful what are all your settings? try disabling appearance options player size, header, transcript, chapters. |
Do you have a way to dump those settings to a file I can send within the extension? There are way too many settings to just simply list them all out and I would not know if one is conflicting or w/e. When I first installed this, I went through every available option and looked and tweaked here and there. It could be literally anything doing it. And I'm not too keen on being locked to an old version. With something that moves as fast as Youtube changes do, you have to stay current. |
I can confirm this issue, too. It started just a few weeks ago for me also. My guess is, that it is the auto generated content added by YouTube into the videos description which cannot be hidden by any means of the extension by now. When loading the page, you first see the top with the video, it then »jumps« directly down to this in the desctiption (at the end of it) and then jumps back to the top. I think this could be prevented by hiding/blocking that part which is useless anyway. There even is a text string stating auto generated by YouTube at the beginning and it mostly points to shorts containing the video and other »related« content. Just went through all the extensions settings and wether found a way to hide/block it nor anything else which might cause this. I tried using the element picker from uBlock Origin to just block this part but only found I can block the whole description or nothing, so a more detailed selection is needed. |
Thank you for your information. |
I am using Vivaldi (another Chromium-based Browser of the former Opera developers until version 12.xx) and I am used to messing around with this extension as it often is having issues in this browser. At the moment, it was working relatively well and it became essential to stop all the bullshit and bloat-stuff on YouTube. I did test alternatives but found this one the best in the end. I also do understand that the website of YouTube is permanently changing and the extension needs to be adjusted accordingly as many other extensions for the very same reason. However, the web today is barely a useful place without an ad and cookie note blocker and my other extension to customize your most used pages or extend their functionality. But even though I am technically experienced, alone out of need, I could not solve this one when it started. The only workaround might be, hiding or at least collapsing the details until this is adressed but I fear, we have to wait for a fix – or better: a function to hide/block this new bullshit – here. I can also confirm that I have set my details panel to being expanded automatically so you do not have to click it all the time for that (who ever thought this is a good idea instead of stopping to put all the unasked content into it). So, at the moment it seems, there is only tradeoff possible. Edit: I attached my settings JSON file if that helps in any way. Whith this settings, the issue can be still seen. |
I just imported and tested your settings.
Here is a video I recorded about it. And here again my current setting file. |
I'm just going to do it. |
YT changed the way expand description works, it now grabs focus, scrolls and draws stupid frame around Description |
hi! @LinguaOccultus
sure! 👍 if necessary
yes! should have closed this most likely.
hi! @raszpl 👍 what does L421 change / fix? (+why not wrap the (any) feature in if (this.storage.description === 'expanded') { .... } youtube/js&css/web-accessible/www.youtube.com/appearance.js Lines 457 to 467 in b9ab7ae
)
interesting!
yes top right settings, backup, export
firefox allows to switch version easily as if it was an extension feature (so thats a great tool for testing /making sure) |
I've had several hours now and since I disabled Forced Theater mode setting and just went to using the button on the player directly, I've had no more problems with it jumping to the description. So it was either that or an update that fixed it. |
I just disabled the "Forced Theater" mode. That's just the common thing, it's happened to me too. What is very important to mention is that you have to open a new TAB in the background of the YouTube video The only thing that helps is reloading the page (F5 key). Can't you install this so that when loading, the key command CTRL+HOME is sent? |
hope to see you guys in some of our 500+ open threads ( while_ others have steps to work on defined already, like these 41:
🧩Plan ready
#2499 (comment) this was your refinement for background tabs @merlin555:
|
Today August 6th, 16:00 GMT+1 it works fine with version 4.1077. |
I can confirm that. |
@LinguaOccultus @ImprovedTube |
Just found that the jumping issue is back again for me ... =( |
Yup, I've noticed it as well. This was after I had to clear out all cache and cookies and reset my settings and reapply them all one by one. I think this is some change Youtube is doing that's messing with it. |
If your are using Chrome (and also any Chromium-browser like Vivaldi in my case should work similar) you can safely exclude storage (especially extension storage), application storage and website settings from the browser extended application deletion dialogue to prevent this from happening and keep the settings. Those contain minimum data as described – except you meant to delete the settings. It most likely again is YouTube changing stuff around again; since the added page areas we expect are causing this are newly added, more frequent changes to them are usual until they are satisfied with it. That, unfortunately also means, extensions which are effected by this, need to be properly adjusted aswell several times more often than usual. |
Nope using Firefox, my man. 129.0.2 What setting is doing this? |
Now at 7 a.m. GMT+1 on August 23rd, with Vivaldi browser version 6.8.3381.55 I haven't had any problems so far. |
Haven't used the fox for quite a while now; but if the dialogue still looks like this: The both under »Data« should be excluded in that case. Maybe it is not so easy, but normally those categories are there for giving you a choice what exactly you want to delete.
Just tested any me neither; maybe the guys were very quick with fixing or YouTube changed something again ... ^^ |
Now 10 hours later it still works perfectly. |
As of today, the jumping issues returned for me the third time. However, this time only for videos with chapters. They are now also added to the description below the video sometimes instead of just in the list to the right to where it then is jumping when opening the page. |
Yup been back off and on for a week or longer for me. I quit trying to figure out what's doing it, just know it is the extension/script.. Latestet Firefox. 130.0.1 |
Can you please give me a link as an example with chapters? |
hi again and thanks @LinguaOccultus @Corruptinglyneedful @Corruptinglyneedful And you still don't auto-expand the video description? or theater mode? (also increasing the duration that we disallow Youtube to scroll when auto-expanding the description (just to make sure): |
I did not keep any links as it seemed to be happening with all videos with chapters. There are quite a lot on YouTube; audio books for example often have them but many other formats, too. I am still using Vivaldi for the moment.
I am auto-expanding the videos description all the time an since I started to use this extension as it makes no sense to me to click on a button first and it does not make anything better to hide it. I never used the theater mode. My settings are the very same as before since we started this discussion; attached it again. |
Yah let me do that. You can let me know or w/e. |
But the whole thing works for me with Vivaldi. |
Then you neither made the extension open description, nor chapters , nor transcript? @Corruptinglyneedful? Might it only happened rarely when we live-chat:collapse runs? |
What? I don't understand. I gave my settings. That's what I use. |
re-opening: #2499 (comment)
Hello everyone,
For 1-2 weeks I have had the following problem in the Vivaldi browser when I load YouTube.
Instead of the usual way that you log in after the page has loaded, is right at the top,
it is always at the beginning with the description.
Only “reload page” helps.
This problem does not exist in Firefox.
Here is a video that shows the whole problem:

And here's mine "improvedtube.json" file.
