Hi,

Consider this HTML (is also attached):

<html>
<head>
<script>
function myclick(){alert('click');return false;}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#">aaaa</a></div>
<div><a href="#" id="check">aaaa</a></div>
<script> document.getElementById('check').addEventListener("click", myclick, false);
</script>
</body></html>

Now load it in a small window in firfox, so you'll see a vertical scrollbar.
Scroll down a little bit, then click on the last text. you'll see that the item has a focus rectangle, but the scrollbar jumps up.

Is this a browser bug? how can I make the scrollbar not to jump and stay in the same location clicked?

Thanks,
Tal. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the attached HTML, scroll down until the last item and click on it.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The scrollbar jumps up to the start instead of staying near the clicked item.

Expected Results:  
Scrollbar doesnt move when clicking on the item.

That is not a bug, but a feature.
# is a anchor, if you paste this at the end of your page:
<a name="thefooter"></a>
and you go to #thefooter, then you'll be scrolled down.

Instead of using # to 'do nothing', use javascript:void(0);
