Partial reload scroll restoration behavior in Inertia.js v1.x

When using Inertia.js partial reloads (v1.0.0+), the X-Inertia-Partial-Component header updates only the targeted component without a full page refresh. The current implementation does not automatically restore the scroll position after such a reload, leaving scroll handling to the application developer via the inertia:page-update event. This behavior creates inconsistency across pages and requires additional boilerplate for a uniform experience. The project has not yet decided whether scroll restoration should be a default feature of partial reloads or remain opt‑in.

Should Inertia.js automatically restore scroll position after a partial reload?

If automatic restoration is not provided, what is the recommended pattern for developers to implement consistent scroll behavior?

Is there a plan to introduce a configuration option that enables default scroll restoration for partial reloads in a future release?
