Comment:

 This needs a patch that implements the javascript
 `Element.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"})` behavior. The end of the
 selective refresh partial `refresh` method in `wp-includes/js/customize-
 selective-refresh.js` should trigger visibility of a button to initiate
 this behavior.

 This has native support in most browsers and could be considered a
 progressive enhancement. Alternatively we could reuse the jQuery
 implementation from Twenty Seventeen (linked above) for improved browser
 compatibility.

 Alternatively, a patch that implements the smooth scrolling without a
 button is worth exploring and testing given the smooth scrolling behavior
 and its use in Twenty Seventeen.
