When clicking an entry in the admin navigation menu a full new page is loaded and the scoll position is lost.

This is kinda annoying especially on smaller creens with a few extra sections.

This behavior occurs in XF 2.2 as well (though it is subtly different as the sidebar shares a scrolling context with the overall document). We could scroll the active item into view via JS when the page is loaded, but the end result is a bit jarring in its own way. Not sure if we'll action this.
 
Yes, basically the same issue was reported for 2.2 but it is marked as fixed in 2.3 that's why I made a new report for 2.3:

Fixed Thread 'ACP Side-Navigation always jumps up and is inefficient'

If you have only XF installed, the navigation is ok. However, if you have installed several add-ons that make entries in the ACP navigation, it becomes a patience game.
If you scroll down to change something in phrases, for example, you have to scroll down 2 times. Really sucks!

Take the ACP navigation of IPB as an example. It is efficient.

Scrolling the active item into view IMHO would be a bit better than the current situation, but still not be ideal.

IMHO the real fix could be to not make complete page loads at all but just replace p-main when clicking a link in the navigation.
 
Oh my bad, I thought that bug was more about Sticky-Kit behaving oddly. The video just shows the navigation jumping around unexpectedly when expanding a section or scrolling the document, without a page load.
 
Automated triage: Design issue

Thank you for reporting this issue. Each link in the control panel sidebar loads a completely new page, and the sidebar scrolls separately from the page. Nothing currently remembers how far it was scrolled, so it starts at the top again after every click. Changing that would be a design change to the sidebar rather than a fix to broken code.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
