Details

Bug tested on Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 with Mozilla, NS7 and
K-Meleon. Probably an "All OS" bug.

The URL above contains a page with a large picture and one link at the bottom of
the page. If your browser window is so small that you have vertical scrollbars
visible, then you can't follow the link right down at the bottom. The only
effect of the click on it is a scrolling of the page upwards. The same happens
if you try to view the context menu for that link.

It is not an HTML issue, because if the page fits into the window the link
works. Other browsers (IE, Opera, NS 4.7x) do not have that behaviour.

Reproducible: Always (it will work seldom only after the 2nd try)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new browser window.
2. Resize the window so it will match the following size:
   width >= 580 px, height <= 760 px
3. Open the URL from the URL field
4. Check if you have ONLY the vertical scrollbar visible (if not, restart)
5. Scroll down the page till the end
6a. Click the link named "weiter" (German for "next") to go to the next page
6b. or open the context menu for that link

Note: The link on the second page leads to an error 404, that's by design :-)

Actual Results: The new page does not open in the window, the only thing that
happens is upward scrolling of the page (over the middle of the page). Same
result if you try to open the context menu of the link.

Expected Results: Link should open in the current browser window. Context menu
should work.

I think this is a critical bug, because in such cases the links don't work and
it seems that Mozilla is broken.
I don't know why this bug was filed twice ...
