Category Navigation UX Issues (Sticky + Slider Jump)

:warning: Category Navigation UX Issues (Sticky + Slider Jump)

I’m facing two UX issues in Store.link category navigation on websites using the same theme and service provider.

:one: Inconsistent sticky behaviour

  • Text-based categories stay sticky while scrolling
  • Image-based categories scroll away
  • This creates inconsistency and poor UX, especially on mobile
    (Sticky behaviour should be consistent across all category layouts)

:two: Category bar jumping on selection

  • When selecting a category, the category bar auto-jumps 3–4 slides
  • This pushes the selected category out of view
  • Customers usually browse categories slowly, so this feels confusing and unstable

Expected behaviour

  • Consistent sticky category navigation for all layouts
  • Selecting a category should not cause sudden horizontal jumps

These issues significantly affect grocery / hyperlocal store UX and conversions.
Requesting the team to review and fix this at the layout / CSS / slider logic level.
