When certain flash objects were the  last item clicked, and they are scrolled out of the visible portion of the window, upon scrolling a second time (without clicking anything else), the scrolling will begin at the bottom of that flash object, ignoring your current page location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the link
2. Click anywhere on the small video in the top leftish
3. Scroll until the video is no longer visible
4. Without clicking the mouse, stop scrolling, then begin again
Actual Results:  
The screen jumps back up preventing you from scrolling very far

Expected Results:  
Ummm, it should scroll... normally?

I have only been able to test this on one computer, it has happened on several sites and happens every time on those sites on this computer (HP Pavilion dv6000, scrolling with the Synaptics TouchPad)

Hmmm, I don't see the link, here's an example link where this happens:

This works fine here (also with Synaptics).

Ben, do you still see this with newer FF and flash v10?

No, I haven't seen this in quite a while. I guess I'm supposed to close these reports when they're no longer an issue? Sorry!
(Although, I no longer have that laptop either)

Alright, sorry about not closing this sooner... I don't often submit bugs
