Content scrolls down by container's padding on load for pages without an autofocused input #14838

Description

Bug description

On every Control Panel page that (a) has no auto-focused input and (b) whose content overflows the viewport, the content area scrolls down by the top padding of .main-content (8px from sm:p-2`) right after load. It looks like a small "layout jump."

For example: This happens on the dashboard if it has a few widgets, or on an utilities page.

The cause is in the focus-management in resources/js/pages/layout/Layout.vue. focusMain() focuses the content wrapper as an accessibility convenience:

if (!autofocusInput) {
document.querySelector('#content-card')?.focus();
}

#content-card is a full-height wrapper (min-h-full, tabindex="-1") at the very top of the scrollable #main-content container, which has sm:p-2 padding. Calling .focus()without{ preventScroll: true } makes the browser scroll the overflowing container to bring the focused element into view, offsetting it by the 8px top padding.

This is why it only shows on input-less, overflowing pages (Dashboard, custom utility views). Listing pages (Collections, Assets, Users, …) are unaffected only as a side effect: their search field uses <Input :focus="true">, so an input is already focused when focusMain() runs and it returns early via the first branch — #content-card is never focused.

How to reproduce

  1. Open a CP page with no auto-focused input and enough content to overflow the viewport (e.g. Dashboard, or a custom Utility view).
  2. Make the browser window short enough that #main-content scrolls.
  3. Reload.

Expected: Content stays at scrollTop: 0.
Actual: Content scrolls down ~8px after load.

Quick console confirmation on such a page:

const mc = document.querySelector('.main-content');
mc.scrollTop = 0;
document.querySelector('#content-card').focus();
mc.scrollTop; // 8 (expected: 0)

Note: I could strangely reproduce this behaviour even on the empty state dashboard page from a fresh installation. But not always…

Suggested fix

Pass preventScroll when focusing the content wrapper in focusMain():

document.querySelector('#content-card')?.focus({ preventScroll: true });

Focus still moves to the content for keyboard/screen-reader users (the accessibility intent of focusMain() is preserved), but the browser no longer scrolls the container. The autofocus-input branch (autofocusInput.focus()) may want the same treatment for consistency.

A CSS-only workaround that confirms the diagnosis is .main-content { scroll-padding-top: 0.5rem; }, but { preventScroll: true } is the proper fix.

So far, this is what Claude has told me. I could fix it with for myself with this:

.main-content {
scroll-padding-top: 0.5rem; /* = p-2 / 8px */
}

            Content scrolls down by container's padding on load for pages without an autofocused input #14838

            Description

            @helloDanuk

            Bug description

            On every Control Panel page that (a) has no auto-focused input and (b) whose content overflows the viewport, the content area scrolls down by the top padding of .main-content (8px from sm:p-2`) right after load. It looks like a small "layout jump."

            For example: This happens on the dashboard if it has a few widgets, or on an utilities page.

            The cause is in the focus-management in resources/js/pages/layout/Layout.vue. focusMain() focuses the content wrapper as an accessibility convenience:

            if (!autofocusInput) {
            document.querySelector('#content-card')?.focus();
            }
            

            #content-card is a full-height wrapper (min-h-full, tabindex="-1") at the very top of the scrollable #main-content container, which has sm:p-2 padding. Calling .focus()without{ preventScroll: true } makes the browser scroll the overflowing container to bring the focused element into view, offsetting it by the 8px top padding.

            This is why it only shows on input-less, overflowing pages (Dashboard, custom utility views). Listing pages (Collections, Assets, Users, …) are unaffected only as a side effect: their search field uses <Input :focus="true">, so an input is already focused when focusMain() runs and it returns early via the first branch — #content-card is never focused.

            Bildschirmaufnahme.2026-06-18.um.16.27.54.mov

            How to reproduce

            1. Open a CP page with no auto-focused input and enough content to overflow the viewport (e.g. Dashboard, or a custom Utility view).
            2. Make the browser window short enough that #main-content scrolls.
            3. Reload.

            Expected: Content stays at scrollTop: 0.
            Actual: Content scrolls down ~8px after load.

            Quick console confirmation on such a page:

            const mc = document.querySelector('.main-content');
            mc.scrollTop = 0;
            document.querySelector('#content-card').focus();
            mc.scrollTop; // 8 (expected: 0)
            

            Note: I could strangely reproduce this behaviour even on the empty state dashboard page from a fresh installation. But not always…

            Suggested fix

            Pass preventScroll when focusing the content wrapper in focusMain():

            document.querySelector('#content-card')?.focus({ preventScroll: true });
            

            Focus still moves to the content for keyboard/screen-reader users (the accessibility intent of focusMain() is preserved), but the browser no longer scrolls the container. The autofocus-input branch (autofocusInput.focus()) may want the same treatment for consistency.

            A CSS-only workaround that confirms the diagnosis is .main-content { scroll-padding-top: 0.5rem; }, but { preventScroll: true } is the proper fix.

            So far, this is what Claude has told me. I could fix it with for myself with this:

            .main-content {
            scroll-padding-top: 0.5rem; /* = p-2 / 8px */
            }
