Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable "Data Saving Mode" in settings (I have it on as "Only on Cellular Mode")
- Enable Mobile Data and turn off Wi-Fi
- Browse so that a post is cut in half at the top side of the screen
- Disable Mobile Data
- Infinity will jump back up to the top of the post
Expected result:
Infinity should not move the posts.

This bug also occurs when the network automatically changes (e.g. from 3G -> 4G), which can be frustrating when browsing reddit during a car journey for example. It also occurs for comments, i.e. repeat the process above but cut a comment in half instead.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the jump with Data Saving Mode while browsing posts and comments, including an automatic network change. Then trace the post and comment scrolling behavior around network changes; done means the visible content keeps its position when connectivity changes.
