When opening a subtask from a parent issue it opens the subtasks with the window position in the location that it was on the previous task, rather than resetting to an original page load position (this behavior is similar to the Edit-in-Place feature in Confluence). This can be verified by creating a Parent task and populating enough fields/text so that you need to scroll down to view the sub-task and comment sections. Also create a sub-task in the same fashion so that you cannot view the comment sections without scrolling. If you scroll down on the parent and click the sub-task, the sub-task will open in the same window position.
My question is, is this expected behavior? I have not found any open defect/suggestion tickets?
Currently verified this behavior on (server installations) JIRA Core 7.3.1, 7.6.4 and JIRA Software 7.6.1.
