I have the below setting in my config as recommended by many scrolling packages like ultra-scroll-mac.

(setq scroll-conservatively 101)

The issue is, when using this config with lsp-mode, xref-go-back will not recenter the point to the middle of the window, but instead it recenter the point to the bottom of the window.

For example, before xref-find-definitions

after xref-find-definitions

enter image description here

after xref-go-back

I tested in a emacs -q settings with the config below, I am not sure if it's a lsp-mode issue so I have not reported it there. Also the issue is gone if scroll-conservatively is 0 or not using lsp-mode (e.g. using xref-go-back in plain emacs-lisp-mode).

I tried something like

(defun xref-go-back-fixes (orig-func &rest args)
    (let ((scroll-conservatively 0))
      (apply orig-func args)))
  (advice-add 'xref-go-back :around #'xref-go-back-fixes)

But it does not work. Unless I eval (setq scroll-conservatively 0) in the minibuffer, the issue is still there.

Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

  • It does sound like an lsp-mode issue (with a bug report). But to confirm that it's not somehow a limitation of the LSP protocol, you can also try reproducing this problem with eglot.

  • @Dmitry After a quick test, I found that the same issue exists with eglot. Commented Jan 17 at 4:05
  • Ah yeah, I can reproduce this with Elisp too. See the answer below.

This is in fact one of the effects of setting scroll-conservatively: when a point moves inside a buffer, the window is scrolled in this particular way.

Anyway, to solve this specifically for xref-go-back, at least, you can add recenter to xref-after-return-hook.

Just like in xref-after-jump-hook where it's already present.

    Strange, I can not reproduce this in non lsp-modes . Anyway, your answer solved the question. Thank you very much for helping to fix this long-live super annoying issue for me. And I like you company package. Commented Jan 17 at 5:33
  • You're welcome!
