I think setting a transform-origin in the zoom out CSS transform and calculating a variable on the scaling animation that checks for the current scroll offset and calculating the central point could work well. It would need to work for both zoom-in and out.

It seems like this is what #61465 is meant to solve. It seems overkill to actually center the block because that’s adjusting the scroll position instead of maintaining it. Also, it can’t work for blocks that are near the end of the canvas unless spacing is added to the end of the canvas to make enough overflow/scrolling range to center the block. Not that it would have to work for such blocks.

I’ll mention as well that #63390 maintains scroll position for free (i.e. without code managing it).

I can confirm this is occurring in 6.7 Beta 1, so I am adding it to the project board. It would be great to come up with a solution before the release.
