Page jumps to top on state change

[thebigredgeek]

For some reason, when I change a child state, it appears as though the entire browser re-renders, causing it to jump the scroll viewpane to the very top which is very disturbing. Is there a way to bypass this?

Not currently, I think it is being triggered by $anchorScroll - https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/blob/master/src/viewDirective.js#L126

I imagine an opt out solution might be worthwhile

We've wanted that for quite a while, its just always low priority. Feel free to make a PR!

I think I might, actually. This is a "must-have" for my organization.

Does anyone else wanna help out with a PR regarding this? I think what we really want here is to only reload the state views that have actually changed, while leaving everything else alone. It shouldn't be difficult to parse that out of absolute state strings, or child string notation.
