I believe this is someting we can fix easily?
Keep scroll on reply context. Now is going to the top making me scroll again.
I can write a US for this.

Notes about this interaction
in the comments panel, you either want to see a comment that starts a discussion (discussion root), or a comment that is replying to other comment (reply)
when you see a discussion root, here there's no problem because we don't need to calculate anythign and we can just render the comment at the top of the page.
a reply can be part of a small thread or a big thread. what the user wants to see is the actual comment reply, but we need to render both the parent thread and the "replies to the reply".
Because we are rendering the parent thread, those comments push the selected reply down, and this is what's causing the wrong "scroll position"
what we need to do is:
render the selected reply
render the replies of the selected reply
if there are parent thread, render them offset, calculate the heigh, and automatically scroll that size, so the selected reply stays in the same place.
