      Issue Summary

      Right-hand work item pane reloads and scrolls to top when changing subtask status 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open a work item that has multiple subtasks so it appears in the right-hand pane.
      1. Resize the right pane so that the work item layout switches to a single-column view.
      1. Scroll down in the right pane until the list of subtasks is visible.
      1. Change the status of one of the subtasks (e.g. from “To Do” to “In Progress”) using the status control in the right pane.
      1. Observe the behavior of the right pane after the status change.
      1. Please find the recording for reference

      Expected Results

      • Only the updated subtask’s status is changed.
      • The right pane does not reload.
      • The scroll position is preserved so the user remains at the same location in the subtasks list.
      • The user can quickly update multiple subtasks in sequence without having to scroll or search for them again.

      Actual Results

      • After changing the subtask status, the entire right pane reloads.
      • The pane scrolls/jumps back to the top of the work item.
      • The user loses their position in the subtasks list and has to scroll through a lengthy work item description again to find the next subtask..
      • This issue is reproducible when the right pane is in single-column view

      Workaround

      When the pane is widened so the work item is shown in two columns, the behaviour appears to be not reproducible
