Description
Steps to reproduce
- Have enough tasks so that they no longer fit on the screen
- Open a direct link to a task that is off-screen when the list is at the top
- Be at the top of the list
Expected behavior
It should scroll such that the linked task is in view
Actual behaviour
It shows only the selected task while being seemingly unresponsive for a few seconds and then just shows the top of the list the task is in.
The task is at least open in the right side bar though. You can't add sub-tasks from that point though or see the context (e.g. parent and sibling tasks).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the direct-link behavior in the Nextcloud Tasks app with a long task list, using Tasks 0.16.1 and Firefox as reported. Trace the task-list navigation and scrolling entry points; done means an off-screen linked task is brought into view while its surrounding context and sidebar actions remain usable.
