What is the expected behavior? When a try to drag a component the canvas should not scroll to the top of the page.
Describe the bug detailed Whenever I try to drag a component that is in the last sections of the page, the canvas scroll to the top. Sometime this just happens the first time but other time always, maybe has to do with the component type.

Hi @artf ,
You can check it out here https://recordit.co/vn1ZVN6J1N, is not with the sections, it happens with any element but only the first time I try to drag something.
Ah ok, only the first time, I've got it now on my side too 👍
Thanks for reporting this, @josfh2005.
The issue with Canvas scroll to top of the page when I try to drag an element from the last sections appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
