Roll out sticky scroll by default

[aiday-mar]

This iteration we would like to roll out editor sticky scroll by default, since terminal sticky scroll as well as tree sticky scroll will be rolled out by default too.

Hi,
Could you elaborate more on this, I would like to take this up!

Hi @Rishit30G thank you for proposing your help. This change is in fact quite minimal and requires likely one of our team members to set up an experiment to roll out sticky scroll to part of our user base. This work can therefore only be done internally. If you are looking for relatively easy issues where you can contribute you may look at the issues under the VS Code repo having the label help wanted here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22.

Sure, glad to hear that 👍🏻
Will check those issues, thanks for guiding!

Hi, any way to pre-emptively opt out of having any of the sticky scrolls enabled?
I hate these things with a passion. Great if sticky scroll works for you. It doesn't for me.

Absolutely despised when Github forced it down my throat in the new code view as well, without any option to turn it off.
Makes navigating through any code for languages that have it enabled, like C#, actively uncomfortable for me.

Hi @rjgotten. When sticky scroll rolls out by default, you will be able to turn it off in the settings. I am not aware of a way to preemptively disable it.

I noticed this was turned on by default, and really did not like the UX. It took quite a while to find the new setting to disable it. I would vote for this to not be turned on by default or at least notify the user.

Hi @mlynch thank you for letting us know, we will take this into account. Our ultimate decision will be based on how many people eventually decide to keep it on.

F*** offffff with changing the default, took me forever to google what this stupid feature was called to disable it.

I second that. It took me out of my workflow and I wasted valuable time to find out how to disable it.
