Because of this, I abandon using scrollIntoView() and use scrollBy()/scrollTo() with the element's bounding client rect plus/minus that offset. What would you think about adding two new options to ScrollIntoViewOptions such as blockOffset and inlineOffset which will be the distance between the element and its container after the element is scrolled into view? This was already mentioned before[1], though didn't get any response, as far as I can see. I personally support this idea. Another way would be to extend this API to allow to scroll to some scroll snap point. Sebastian [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jun/0455.html
