Safari on iOS7 scroll back to top?

I have this same issue. It also happens when you try to go back a page. There have been times when I'm browsing a rather large, long site that loads more stuff as you reach the bottom. In the old ios if you accidentally clicked on something you could just click the back button and it would go back to where you were. Now when you try to go back a page even after only a second, it reloads the entire page (and thus going back to the top and undoing all the stuff you loaded). It also does this for me if you switch between tabs in safari. Switching to another tab for even a few seconds will reload the old tab once you go back to it. Very annoying!

Same issue here!

try turning off background app refresh settings > general > background app refresh.

what this does is resets your apps in the back ground when your not using them so your up to date on each apps usage,

i dont mean updates.

like if you use face book and are on the notification part of facebook, it will refresh it automaticly even thou you dont have it open

It's only in safari that I'm having this issue"

For an example,

I'm on cult of Mac, I scroll down about 5 articles. I click the link and read it. I then hit the back button. In ios 6 it would take me to the previous page, somewhere in the middle of the page where I left off before I clicked the link. Noe, in ios 7, when I hit back, it bumps me to the top of the page. It's very frustration....I find my self scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

Yes this exactly for me too. And I've also turned off background app refresh, doesn't help.

This is so ^^{%^~€<,! UNBELIEVABLE. I guess Apple developers don't actually use iOS for things like multi-tab browsing.

Every time you select a tab, it reloads. Why?? This is not what we want. If I jump back and forth between pages, I lose time waiting for each page to reload. Terrible, just terrible.

And furthermore, you LOSE YOUR PLACE!!

Maybe there's a developer from Samsung actually posing as an Apple Dev.

Apple really messed up Safari, i wish i never updated my iphone. Luckily i still have my ipad on 6.1.3

IOS 7 looks nice, but that is the only good thing i can say about it.

Not a solution, but an observation:

"Scroll lock" is ok when I switch off the javascript (in advanced settings of safari).

However, this is not a solution, because half of the Internet becomes invisible.
