Diff: no longer able to search for code in off-screen parts of merge request

With the latest feature, which is not to render parts of DOM not currently visible while reviewing a merge request, I’m unable to search for any text or piece of code in order to verify its use cases or definition.

This feature also causes some scrolling issues. When I’m opening a form with a new comment, I’m instantly getting scrolled somewhere else on the diff page. It’s not always easy to find back the place where I started because the freshly opened form gets removed from the DOM since it’s not currently visible on my screen.

So frustrating. Is there any future for code reviews on GitLab? Maybe some option to disable this?
