322755 - clicking link after large image scrolls to top of image, click goes to image instead

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309075

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[wdebeaum]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060102 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060102 Firefox/1.5

If a webpage has an image that is taller than the window followed by a link on the next line (but in the HTML it starts with the end of the line with the image) any attempt to select the link (any button click, or tabbing to the link) causes the page to scroll to show the top of the image. This hides the link you selected. Also firefox acts as if the click was on the new location (usually the image instead of the link). So if you right-click on the link, it scrolls and shows you the image context menu, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL listed.
2. Scroll to the bottom so the link "bogus2" is visible.
3. Click on the link with any mouse button, or hit tab until the link should be selected.

Actual Results:  
The page scrolls to the top of the image, and right-clicks go to the image, popping up the image context menu instead of the link context menu.

Expected Results:  
The page should not scroll, and any clicks should go to the link, not the image.

Using Gentoo linux.
