User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

To reproduce:
- Open a website, scroll down and set the cursor somewhere to the bottom of the
  page.
- Now change the character encoding via the menu View.
- After this the cursor is placed at the beginning of the webpage and the
  scrollbar is also reset so that you see the top of the webpage.

This behaviour is a bit annoying.

Reproducible: Always

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

Yes, the fact that it does not scroll to the original position in the page is annoying when you change the encoding very often.

Comment 2

[uwestoehr]

This bug is still in Firefox 2.0 RC3.

Btw. the bug was confirmed by Ria Klaassen but is still in unconfirmed state.

Comment 3

[uwestoehr]

What about this now? The bug has been confirmed but not set to confirmed state and nobody is taking care about it.

This is a dupe of bug 17889 rather than dependent on it.
