276382 - Clicking Links Causes Part of the Page to Jump Down

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262576

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Shlomi Fish]

I'm using Mozilla 1.8a4.

1. Access the URL at the top. (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html)

2. Click the "1. General Information" Link to the Left.

3. See that part of the page moves (or jumps) down about 3 centimeters and the
link itself is not pressed.

I cannot reproduce it with Firefox 1.0.

Note that this problem was discovered by Martin Spreij of the Webdesign-L
mailing list. I'm just reporting it here, because I was able to reproduce it.

Please don't use 1.8a4 to report bugs, it's too old.

SHLOMIF->Erik Fabert: thanks for finding the dup - I tried searching for it but
wasn't able to find it. In any case, the testcase there looks pretty similar to
what I have created out of this page, so it is indeed the same bug. I'll try to
see if I can reproduce it with the bug.

Regarding Mozilla 1.8a4: it's still the highest Mozilla release around. If
people are not expected to use it to report bugs, then it's high time a new
Mozilla 1.8.x version was released.

1.8a5 has been out for over a month.

Sorry, it seems I've checked this with Mozilla 1.8a5 and not 1.8a4. The bug
still exists in 1.8a5, but the person who reported it to Webdesign-L used 1.8a4.
