Description:

panel.getScrollable().getScroller().scrollTo() does not work if item is not active or immediately after setting the item active

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Create a card view layout with two vertically scrollable panels, ensuring that panel #2 is taller than the screen height
Set active panel to panel #1

Call the following code:

Code:

outerPanel.setActiveItem(panel2);
panel2.getScrollable().getScroller().scrollTo(0, 500);

The result that was expected:

The result that occurs instead:

panel 2 is set as active but not scrolled.
If the same code to scroll is called after the panel is set as active, scrolling works just fine.

I found a workaround for people experiencing the same issue.

Instead of doing:

Code:

outerPanel.setActiveItem(panel2);
panel2.getScrollable().getScroller().scrollTo(0, 500);

do:

Code:

outerPanel.setActiveItem(panel2);
setTimeout(function() {
    panel2.getScrollable().getScroller().scrollTo(0, 500);
});

I can confirm that this is still an issue. I have a navigationview with a map and a list. On refreshing the data in the list

Code:

listComponent.getScrollable().getScroller().scrollTo(0,0,true);

does not animate to the top of the list. I used the approach outlined above by Marc-QNX and it works.
