No easy way to scroll back to the top

[dzver]

Expected behavior

Clicking the Reader button should scroll me back to the top.

Actual behavior

It opens the new menu.

This is a very easy to reach scenario because reading ends when I reach familiar posts. Next time I start reading, the Reader is stuck on that position.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

There's no way to scroll to the top of the Reader right now. The UI for this used to be by clicking the Reader button.

The workaround is to go to Discover, and then go back to Recent, which is very inconvenient.

I added a "scroll-to-bottom" button to Reader #23957 – check it out. There are a ton of other enhancements and fixes that are shipping soon.

The workaround is to go to Discover, and then go back to Recent, which is very inconvenient.

Tapping the status bar also scrolls to top, but I don't know how many people know that. Having a dedicated button for this type of screen seems like an optimal option, especially since it's prevalent in many other apps.
