Automatic "Scroll to top" after a topic finishes loading

[xuso]

After loading a topic, sometime (really often) the page scrolls to top automatically even if I navigate to a post anchor. It is really annoying and I noticed that it happens also in this forum. Reviewing the core code I saw the guilty lines:

app.processPage = function () {

	...

	setTimeout(function () {
		window.scrollTo(0, 1); // rehide address bar on mobile after page load completes.
	}, 100);
};

File: public/src/app.js:241

I suppose those lines should only be executed on a mobile (Well, the 'scroll to top' could happen too)

Example: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/180/who-is-using-nodebb/110
That link should scroll directly to the #110 post, and it does, but right after, scroll to the top of the page.

@psychobunny In my experience, window.scrollTo(0, 1); didn't actually remove the address bar on my phone -- should we move this code altogether?

Please, any solution for this?
