[Resolved] Editor scrolling to random strings after saving string translation
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where the translation editor would scroll to a random spot after saving, instead of moving to the next string. This problem was accompanied by the appearance of additional strings from Yoast SEO. Solution: The client managed to resolve the issue by turning off Custom Fields Translation for Yoast SEO and enabling the display of system fields in Custom Term Meta Translation. Despite previous attempts, this solution was effective only after the correct settings were applied.

I have resolved the issue by turning off Custom Fields Translation for yoast seo, this only worked after showinge system fields in Custom Term Meta Translation.
I have tried this before but I must have missed it somehow.
