It works with timeout(), thanks. I am thinking where would be the best place to persist scrollbar position before removing the component from DOM to be able to restore it when the component is inserted back again.

No idea how your code is organized, but if it is the same component it would be best to keep this info in the component itself.

[Tomas Kormanak]

I would, but when to get the value? I would put it in a hook beforeRemove() if it existed.

[Tomas Kormanak]

something like:

var latestScrollPosition: Double = 0

fun beforeRemove() {
    val element = getElement()
    latestScrollPosition = element.scrollTop
}

Finally I used scroll event:

onEvent {
  scroll = {
    latestScrollPosition = (getElement() as HTMLElement).scrollTop
  }
}
