When I click on many (but not all)articles from the page referenced above, and I use the down elevator arrow and the click button to scroll (Dell Insiron B130), every attempt to scroll down brings up: http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?srchst=ref&query=Inside%20NYTimes.com&fw=1 This is a feature of the NYT which allow you to click on a word in an article and this query.nytimes.com will explain the meaning of the word (like Suni means such and such). The only problem is that I am NOT touching the page with my cursor. I can SOMETIMES get around this by using the elevator to navigate down, but as I have carpal tunnel syndrome, that puts too much pressure on my muscles. As I said, this happened the minute I entered the NYT.com site after installing 3.0. If this is not important enough to fix, can someone please tell me how to lock out http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?srchst=ref&query=Inside%20NYTimes.com&fw=1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. nyt.com 2. click on any article 3. use elevator down arrow and click button to navigate down 4. choose another article if this did not work. Actual Results: worked again for me. Expected Results: NO query.nyt.com
