It's not visible through Internet Explorer, only Mozilla and Firebird.  I
realize it's the website doing it, but at least IE handles it better so it's not
creating a jerking screen difficult to read

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://news.google.com
2. Scroll down and try to read an article
3.

Actual Results:  
The screen jerks around.  If you're lucky it returns you to where you were, but
not always.

Expected Results:  
Should have STAYED where I was on the page, not jumped to the top then back down
to where I was.

It's not a problem in RedHat Linux (7.3, 8.0 or 9.0) using Mozilla and viewing
