#12682 review_failed New Feature

Add a return value for scrollIntoView

Description

We should include a boolean value returned by the scrollIntoView method.

If scroll occurred, then true would be returned, false otherwise.

In addition to that it turned out that there are no tests at all for scrollIntoParent and only one for scrollIntoView.

Rationale:

You might need information if the scrolling really occured.

Logic which determinates if scrolling should happen or not, is a part of scrollIntoParent implementation and is not exposed.

I've got into that thing while working on our side project, where in case of scroll we had to do some extra layout repositioning.

Current workaround:

The shortest workaround would be:

var wnd = issue.element.getWindow(),
	initialYScroll = wnd.getScrollPosition().y,
	scrollOccurred;

issue.element.scrollIntoView();

scrollOccurred = wnd.getScrollPosition().y !== initialYScroll;

Somebody might also use scroll event listener to do that, which is even more ugly.

I belive we should introduce it in next major release, since it's an API change.

Additionally, since these tests check scrollPosition what's very risky, please verify if you didn't do that, that they pass on all IEs when executed from the dashboard as well as directly.
