Description

When I:

  1. Enter scroll mode and scroll up inside a pane
  2. Move the focus to another pane, exit scroll mode and do something else
  3. Go back to the scrolled up pane

I should be placed in scroll mode again.

This is so that I don't try to scroll and then lose my position because the pane resets back to its bottom most position.

Research direction
Investigate the scroll mode state management in the pane module. Look at how focus change events are handled and where the scroll mode is reset. Consider adding a field to persist the scroll state per pane and restore it on focus. Check the comments in the issue for additional context and potential solutions proposed by the community.
