Datepicker with custom yearRange; curent year in the middle of dropdown

[crocimi]

Per default, with "changeYear: true" the current year is in the middle of the dropdown, allowing selecting a year close to the current one without scrolling.

If I define a yearRange: "c-100:c+100" the current year is displayed on the bottom of the dropdown, se selecting a following year request a scroll operation.

It's possible to change it so that the current year is always in the middle?

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

It happens also with jQuery UI 1.13.2.

Here an example:

That was not my question. I’m asking whether it also happens with jQuery UI 1.12.1.

[crocimi]

Sorry, it happens also with UI 1.12.1

Thanks for the report. Since the issue is already in 1.12, given limited team resources it's not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/. PRs are welcome if they're not too complex and contain tests.

Is it even possible to set the scrollbar at a specific position in a select?
