Problem

When a user expands a parent option and scrolls its child column, then switches to a different parent option, the freshly rendered child column keeps the previous scroll offset instead of starting from the top. Reported with a real-world cascader (provinces/cities) in ant-design/ant-design#44382, where switching provinces leaves the city list scrolled to the bottom.

Root cause

OptionList renders each Column with key={index}, so when the parent changes, the child column's ul element is reused and keeps its previous scrollTop. The existing effect in Column only scrolls when the column contains an -active option; when switching to a parent whose children have no active option, activeValue for that column stays undefined, the effect does not re-run, and the stale scroll offset survives.

Fix

Track the options reference passed to the column. When it changes (the column content is swapped) and the column has no active option, reset the scroll with scrollTo(0, 0):

  • Options that only re-render with the same content keep a stable reference (the column arrays come from a memo over the original option tree), so ordinary re-renders, checkbox toggles and keyboard navigation are not affected.
  • Columns with an active option keep the existing scroll-into-view behavior.

Tests

Added tests/scroll.spec.tsx:

  • switching the parent resets the child column scroll (scrollTo(0, 0) is issued);
  • re-rendering with unchanged parent content does not touch the scroll.

All existing tests pass (the one pre-existing environment-dependent failure in tests/index.spec.tsx on Windows/jsdom also fails on a clean checkout without this change).

Reproduction

The bug reproduces on antd@6.6.5 (which uses @rc-component/cascader): expand a parent with 30 children, scroll the child column, then click another parent — the child column stays scrolled. After this patch, it resets to the top.

Walkthrough

当 options 引用变化且菜单没有活动项时,Column 将菜单滚动位置重置到顶部。新增测试覆盖父选项切换和使用相同选项重新渲染的情况。

Switching parent options may briefly show the child menu at its previous scroll position before it resets. This is a bounded visual glitch, so the remaining merge risk is low.

在绘制前重置滚动位置。

切换父选项时,复用的 <ul> 可能先以旧滚动位置绘制。useEffect 随后才调用 scrollTo(0, 0),用户会看到短暂跳动。请使用兼容 SSR 的布局效果,在浏览器绘制前执行这次重置。根据检索到的 React 学习记录,客户端布局效果可避免这类绘制后跳动。
