Summary

Description

I am experiencing a forced visual refresh (scroll position resets to top) in Chromium-based browsers when transitioning from a single window (occupying 100% of the workspace) to a split state (BSP).

The issue occurs specifically when a browser window goes from being the only window on screen to being tiled (~50% width). This does not appear to be an animation artifact, but rather a state-change conflict where the browser "crashes" its viewport and re-renders the page at coordinates (0,0).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a single Chrome/Edge window (Occupies 100% of workspace).
2. Scroll down on a long page (e.g., a GitHub issue or documentation).
3. Open a second window (e.g., Terminal or another browser tab).
4. Komorebi tiles them 50/50.
5. The Bug: The original browser window visually "flashes" and the scroll position instantly resets to the very top of the page.

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\ghadi

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\ghadi.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag
