What happens is that the display area becomes "transparent", i.e. contains 
whatever was last in that area of screen, but the surrounding stuff like the URL 
bar remains responsive and you can correct the URL. If you load the page and 
then append the # bit to the URL and reload, it moves down the page fine. It's 
only on first visiting that there's a problem.

Using M13 on Win32.

I think it's a dup of 24642. Urlparsing seems fine, I'm guessing it's a webshell
thing in trying to detect if the document was already loaded and jumping to the
anchor only. 

I'm getting this messages on the console:

FindShortcut:
in='http://homepage1.nifty.com/hobbit/child/jitenutf/ura.html#auel'  out='null'

I am testing today's Mac commercial bits from 2pm (2nd round of builds).
I disagree that this is a duplicate of that other bug since the other bug is 
really about a crasher.  I have tested with the following url and I did jump to 
the proper location within this url:
