Description
In Blockly, the workspace starts scrolled to the bottom right.
I think in Scratch, we would prefer to default scrolling to the top left or center. It would be great if this was a configurable option (top left, center, or bottom right).
We might (or might not) want to support disabling growing in the left and top directions (as Scratch currently only grows to the bottom right - ScratchJr grows in all directions, though), pending design. It would be good to have growth modes configurable.
