I see the same bad results in Chrome, too. So this seems likely to be a legitimate interaction issue caused by the Scroll Anchoring feature, regardless of browser.

rhunt, perhaps you could take a look at what's causing trouble here & whether there's anything obvious we could fix to avoid it?

Bulk change to wontfix for 68 (P3+ carryover with needinfo).

I won't have time to look at this anytime soon, unfortunately.

I think this is fixed now, mind confirming?
