317438 - Clicking a large image as a link scrolls browser to bottom of the image

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 288945

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051118 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051118 Firefox/1.5

If a link is an image, then Firefox 1.5 scrolls to the bottom of it when clicked.  This doesn't occur in 1.0.

Example:
<a href="google.com"><img src="anyimage.jpg" height="1500px"></a>

If the browser is viewing the top portion of the image (image too large to fit on page in entirety) then when the image link is clicked the page will scroll to the bottom of the image before loading the link.

Seems similar to bug 307727 but it's not just an image map.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Not scrolled to the bottom as is the case in every other browser tested including prior versions of Firefox.

Sounds like a dup of bug 105894, which is fixed on trunk.  That bug was filed way before Firefox 1.0 came out, though.

Bug 105894 and bug 288945 are basically the same issue, the latter one was filed specifically on image maps and images inside A tags, so I duped against that one.

The fix for 105894 fixed both problems.
