[Question] Preserve breadcrumb after page reload or reposition chatter dynamically

Hello everyone,

While working on an Odoo 17 project, I inherited the web_chatter_position module to add a button on form views that allows users to change the position of the chatter (either at the side or at the bottom of the form).

Currently, to make the position change effective, the button triggers a page reload, which unfortunately causes the breadcrumb to be lost.

My goal would be either:
to preserve the breadcrumb after a reload (or restore it properly),
or even better, to apply the chatter position change without reloading the page to keep a smooth UX.

I explored several approaches (dynamic JS manipulation, extending FormRenderer, etc.), but I haven’t found a satisfactory solution yet.

Would anyone know:
of an existing community module that handles this use case?
or of a clean technique to dynamically reposition the chatter without forcing a page reload?

Thank you very much in advance for your insights and suggestions!

Best regards,
