GitHub New pull request overview page in public preview

A bug that's been driving me crazy lately is the file list in the sidebar doesn't reliably link you to the right file when you click on a filename. I find myself clicking it several times while the code on the right jumps around until it finally lands on the right file.

Anyone else experience this?

I've seen that too. Takes one or two clicks for it to actually scroll to the correct file.

Overall, this isn’t a super great time for software users that value working features over new features.

Indeed. Two sides of the same fleece-vested coin.

I also frequently see this. I assume it's related to how files on the right are lazy loaded.

Yes! The file clicking one bothers me so much.
