Description

For context, I primarily have cards that have long texts with clozes. This bug relates to those types of cards.

Reproduction Steps
  1. Open a deck's cards for study
  2. Scroll down until I find the cloze "[...]"
  3. Tap "Show Answer"
Expected Result

The page view stays where it is - no movement.

Actual Result

The page view jumps all the way back to the top of the screen. I have to scroll down again, to find the now-revealed answer.

Debug info

AnkiDroid Version = 2.8.4 Android Version = 8.1.0 ACRA UUID = 58cab56b-9a8b-41a8-98ed-91e378e5bc58

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the 'Show Answer' button behavior in the card viewer. Trace the click handler to see if it triggers a scroll reset, focus change, or RecyclerView update that causes the view to jump to the top. Search for any calls to scrollToPosition or notifyDataSetChanged in the card viewing code.
