Explanation
Issue [
#3045] requires the post-drop selection to refer to the dropped content and the viewport to remain at the drop after drag auto-scroll.SideMenu.tsonly appendsscrollIntoView(); it does not set the selection to the drop position.blockDropHandling.tsstill collapses selection toview.state.selection.anchorwhenview.draggingis null. The new e2e test checks block order and visibility, but does not reproduce auto-scroll during the drag or assert the post-drop selection. The viewport fix therefore does not establish compliance with the issue's selection requirement.Resolution
Update drop handling so a same-editor drop with no
view.draggingdoes not reuse the pre-drag selection anchor. Set the post-drop selection from the drop position, and add a regression test that exercises drag auto-scroll and verifies both the viewport and selection after the drop.

A rabbit nudges blocks along,
The drop lands where it should belong.
The viewport follows into view,
The moved text stays in sight, too.
Soft paws test the scroll below,
Then hop where paragraphs go.

Make the visibility assertion distinguish the drop target from the dragged block.
dragStart selects paragraph 60. The helper then releases over paragraph 62. Because both paragraphs are in the same local region, a scroll to the dragged block can still satisfy the final visibility check. Change the scenario so the assertion fails when the new scroll transaction is absent.

Hm, if true, this may be a prosemirror-view bug maybe we should submit it there? https://code.haverbeke.berlin/prosemirror/prosemirror-view/src/commit/c6320e2374d8de7b6243d89a4500320480f7c17c/src/input.ts#L832

Looked deep into this and it's not related to ProseMirror, any content-editable will have the same behaviour. You can reproduce the issue in this minimal example.

I appreciate the deep dive, & this sandbox is really great at showing the issue!
I wonder whether @marijnh would be willing to take this upstream into prosemirror-view though. There are a bunch of kludges for other browser & behaviors that it might still be relevant for him to take up.
If you like, I can submit something to his repo (it's moved off of GH now): https://code.haverbeke.berlin/prosemirror/prosemirror-view

Sounds good, though in that case idk if this is the right fix. Probably better to have smth more targeted at WebKit if it's going into prosemirror-view rather than a catch-all appendTransaction on drops.
Summary
This PR fixes an issue with WebKit when dragging & dropping blocks. When a block is dropped, the editor is focused which causes WebKit specifically to scroll the page to the current selection. However, this happens before ProseMirror dispatches the document/selection change transactions, so the page scrolls to whatever block the selection was in before the drop.
This is fixed by simply appending drop transactions with a
scrollIntoView. Scrolling is triggered by the browser (e.g. Chrome doesn't dispatch a scroll event during focus), so we don't have a way of blocking it directly. Doing it this way doesn't cause any choppiness.Closes #3045
