Description Luis Felipe Schenone 2013-07-23 21:22:09 UTC 
The bug 51905 made me realize of a potential problem. When a media, say an image, is inserted, sometimes it may be inserted outside the field of view of the user, and this may lead some users to think that it wasn't inserted at all, causing aborted edits, confusion, frustration, and even bad edits. For example if there is an infobox in the article, or a bunch of images aligned to the right, then if the user inserts an image, in many cases it will be inserted below all this, and the user will not see it without scrolling the screen.

The solution to this potential problem is, I think, fairly simple: make the VisualEditor detect if the image is in the field of view of the user, and if it's not, then scroll the screen so that it is!

I experienced the same problem in bug 51863.

A auto-disappearing popup notice "Your image has been inserted; scroll down to see it." would help.
