User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open this long article:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/02/12/the-white-darkness

Then choose the "Reader View" icon in the address bar.


(I have tested on Nightly 60.0a1, and this problem is still present.)


Actual results:

Reader View opens, but the content begins at section "V. Get Wet and You Die", which is half-way through the entire article.  The top half is entirely missing from the Reader View page.


Expected results:

Reader View should have started at the top of the article.

It also cuts off halfway (after an ad) on:

The DOM is a little funky but cutting out midway through the <article> element seems like a mistake.

Happy to help where I can.
