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.

Research direction

Start by locating the workspace scrolling and growth behavior in the Scratch Blocks codebase. Review how the workspace currently initializes its scroll position and expands, then clarify the intended configuration modes and design decisions before defining what completion should cover.
