What happens when you do that is that now your url bar in your browser points to this post, with a fancy standalone version of the comment above the post. Unfortunately, because the post doesn’t actually change, you aren’t navigating to a new page and your scroll stays where it is. It’s a new feature from LessWrong, I’ve filed a bug report with them.
I clicked on ‘go to Permalink’ for this post, because I was going to send it to a friend, but I don’t think it did anything.
What I actually wanted to do was find a link to just this post (not the whole shortform) that wasn’t going to change.
