Details

At the moment, anchor links jump directly to the location on the page you're loading, which is confusing people. They might not notice that the scroll bar indicates that they are actually halfway down a page. We should have better affordances for this behavior, the easiest way to fix is probably to do a smooth scrolling event (timed so it doesn't take more than, say, ~0.3s no matter how long the page is). That way, there's a semblance of movement down the page, and users will realize that they are being automatically placed further down on the page.
This is appears to be a duplicate of Bug 279629
Indeed.
