Media Library: Quick 'Jump to first loaded item' redirecting to wrong item on 5.8-beta4-51247

[alanjacobmathew]

v: 5.8-beta4-51247 Theme: Twenty Twenty One. No plugins Installed

The 'Jump To First Loaded Item' button found in the media library doesn't redirect to the very first(on the top) item in the library and only to the first item in the newly loaded set.

To reproduce:
1: Add 50-60 images in the media library
2: Reload the page and click on Load More' button.
3: Click on 'Jump to First Loaded item' button

Currently it loads to the 41st item, 81st item, 121st item .. respectively whenever the user loads more images.

Expected output: On clicking it goes to the very 1st item.

I had noticed this in my testing as well. After looking at it a bit, I think that "Jump to the first loaded item" is meant to jump to the first item in the new set. But for some reason I'm finding this confusing and unexpected.

I'm thinking that this can be punted and improving this can be explored for 5.8.1.

@joedolson @antpb @adamsilverstein Any "quick win" ideas to address this in 5.8? If not, let's punt.

[joedolson]

It's working correctly; it is supposed to jump to the first item in the newly loaded set of items.

Any suggestion on an alternate button text that might make this more clear? I don't see a strong reason to revert this, given that it's working correctly; it might just need some additional clarity in the button text.

Oh; I misunderstood. You said 'punt' and my mind said 'revert'. No, I don't think this ticket needs to be handled before 5.8.1.

Given this will likely result in a string change, that no confirmed approach or copy has been agreed to, that no patch/PR exists, and with no clear owner I'm inclined to punt this to Future Release. This ticket seems like we could get to quick agreement on approach and pulled back into a numbered milestone at that point.

With no additional concerns about this in the last two years, I think this is a non-issue. Closing as wontfix.
