Editor docs not scrolling to correct position on search or ctrl+click of a term

[donn-xx]

Tested versions

Noticed this since early 4.x. Still happening in latest 4.4 dev.

System information

Godot v4.4.dev (61598c5) - Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS 22.04 - X11 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (nvidia; 535.183.01) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz (6 Threads)

Issue description

When you ctrl+click a function in gdscript, the docs open but the help text is at the wrong position. Meaning, the function is often not even on the screen of text you get and you have to scroll or Ctrl+F to locate it.

The same happens when one searches using F1 (or Alt+F1).

This does not happen all the time. It's hard to pin down.

Steps to reproduce

Just play with help and watch.

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

None

I’m also annoyed by this bug regularly. What does seem to help is going back to the original script and ctrl clicking the variable or method again, after which it will always scroll to the right position. So perhaps this has something to do with the script not being open yet.

That report seems to be related to a fix introduced between 4.2 and 4.3. I've experienced the bug described in this report throughout 4.2.

There were multiple issues regarding scrolling and navigation in the past.
After #96449, everything should be fine though. If you like you can test the PR and report back. I did quite some testing and scrolling was working perfectly everytime.

ETA: Might not have got the right code. I just pulled from main and compiled.

Just compiled from main. Opened a project, ctrl+clicked intersect_ray and it's a few lines into the func:

Going back to the code, and doing it again gets it right.

I wonder if this isn't a font/line-spacing/linuxy kind of problem?

[Maran23]

No it was just wrong code in Godot that is fixed in #96449.

I see it's pending a review. Thanks for the fix and I'll keep en eye out to test it.
