132037 - does not scroll to anchor for link within a page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 130447

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Baron]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020319
BuildID:    2002031906

When I click on a link to an anchor within the same
page, the page scrolls down very quickly to where the
anchor is, and then scrolls back immediately.  I can
get to where the anchor is by hitting the back button
followed by the forward button (actually I use the
keys for these).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL.
2. Click on one of the titles of the talks.
3. Hig "back", then "forward" to see what was
supposed to happen.

Actual Results:  Scrolling doesn't stay where the anchor is, until
I hit back/forward.



Expected Results:  Scrolls to anchor, e.g. <a name="schwarz"> .. </a>.



This is somehow very specific to this page.  (I have
validated the html in the page, and it is valid.)
Scrolling works fine, for example, in
http://www.psych.upenn.edu/people.htm
where the anchors are inside of <h2> </h2> tags.
In the page with the problem, the anchors are not
inside of anything.

This is new as of yesterdays nighly build.  It is
still there in today's, so I thought it was worth
reporting.  Mozilla 0.9.9 works fine.
