Description

[Ken Ganong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050729 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050729 Firefox/1.0+

Found:
Using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 machine.  Using the previous nightly build of
firefox as of 7/29/05.  The same problem was reproduced in mozilla 1.7.4

Description:  An anchor in html designated by <a name="S2-SM-YOUR-RHN-PREFS">
doesn't seem to work if the page is large enough and the anchor is far enough
along in the web page.  The page loads and brings you to the wrong location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to the location:
https://rhn.redhat.com/help/reference/s1-sm-your-rhn.html#S2-SM-YOUR-RHN-PREFS
2. At first, you will be taken to the page's halfway point.  This is not the
location of the given anchor.
3. Refresh the page with caching (hit the refresh button)
4. The page will load and take you to the correct location.
5. Refresh the page without caching (hold shift and hit the refresh button)
6. The page will load in the incorrect location noted previously.

Actual Results:  
Given in steps.

Expected Results:  
The correct anchor location should be used every time, regardless of whether a
cache of the page is in use.

Using default theme.
