Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[RSpliet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

When I open the Acid 2 test (as an example), and go to the test itself, nothing
is wrong. As soon as I start resizing the window, the page is 'automaticly'
scrolled back to the top.
This problem does not occur in Firefox releases, and has only been tested by me
in Deer Park Alpha 2. Both with and without tabbrowser extension enabled.
This problem always occurs on the acid 2 test, on (for instance) tweakers.net it
does not occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Acid 2 test in Deer Park Alpha 2
2. Go to the test itself (using the shown link)
3. Resize the window

Actual Results:  
I get scrolled back to the top

Expected Results:  
It should've stay where I was, at the test itself (#top)

Reproducible with SeaMonkey/20050727, WFM with Mozilla 1.8b1. The bug disappears
when I remove 'html {overflow: hidden;}' from the Acid 2 test.

Attachment: Very simple testcase.

This page has additional weirdness, including:

  Page fails to reload if "go" button pressed while at #top.
  Changing font size causes jump up.

I've reduced the page to a few lines and uploaded it here. Resize your browser
until the page overflows, then click the link.

It's easy to guess what's going on here - the page is being scrolled to enable the
link target to be on screen, but something is assuming that overflow:hidden pages
don't get scrolled, so it pops right back again.


Incidentally, does anyone at mozilla actually read this stuff, or are we just **** here ?

-> NEW
Bugs take time to get some attention, specially this type, which are kind of obscure.

DP2 is too old; can't reproduce an issue with a more recent version -> WORKSFORME.
