If you're experiencing the issue where the focus jumps to a section in the middle of the page on tablet and mobile views in Webflow, there are a few potential solutions you can try to fix this problem:

  1. Check for interactions: If you have any scroll-based interactions set up on your page, they might be causing the focus to jump unexpectedly. Go to the Interactions panel and review the animations or scroll-triggered actions you've created. Make sure that there are no conflicting interactions that might be triggering the jump. Adjust or remove any interactions that are causing the issue.

  2. Inspect the elements: Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the elements on your page and see if any specific elements are causing the focus to jump. Look for elements with fixed positions or explicit height values that might be affecting the scroll behavior. Adjust the styling or positioning of these elements to prevent the focus from jumping.

  3. Review the layout: It's possible that the layout of your page is causing the issue. Check if there are any overlapping elements or sections that might be affecting the scrolling behavior. Adjust the positioning or z-index values of these elements to resolve the issue.

  4. Add custom code: If the above solutions don't work, you might need to add custom code to your page. Use custom code to control the scroll behavior and prevent the focus from jumping on tablet and mobile views. You can use JavaScript or CSS to achieve this. Consult Webflow's documentation or support forums for guidance on implementing custom code.

Remember to test your changes on multiple devices and browsers to ensure that the focus no longer jumps to the middle of the page. Make sure to publish your changes after implementing any fixes.
