That was only happening for a couple of days around Aug 6 when I posted the complaint. It hasn't been doing that lately.
What it does still do is this: when at the top of my feed (in slow mode) I click to see the new posts, it drops me at some random point between where I was (the topmost toot visible pre-click) and the newest toot post-click (i.e. somewhere in the middle of the newly-visible toots).
I'd rather it left me at the last toot I already read, with new ones above.
Yeah, I realised that when I looked at the date, sorry about that!
Does it do this when you have slow mode on?
@feditips
Yes, slow mode is how I run, to avoid the earlier problem of it moving my location when coming "Back" from drilling down into a post.
Slow mode being on is why I have to click to see the new posts.
Oh sorry, you even said it was slow mode in your post! Apologies. (I have been rushing between threads, I should read more carefully!)
This seems to have been brought up in an issue on the Mastodon github:

If you're comfortable using github, you could give a thumbs up and/or post about your experiences in the thread? (I've just given it a thumbs up by the way.)
