Problem
When navigating to a (React) page with an anchor ID, sometimes the anchor scroll doesn't work and the scroll position stays at the top of the page.
It seems like the scroll util isn't catching the anchor element in those cases because the React page hasn't fully rendered yet. I noticed there a check for the anchor element in a non-blocking thread using setTimeout, but it's still not quite consistent.
Solution
My attempt instead wraps the anchor check in a double requestAnimationFrame to wait for next render cycle before checking for the anchor element.
