Go to the URL above.  Place the cursor in the search text box.  Hit the space bar.  The focus shifts to partway down the screen.

Attachment: Simplified test case showing how much the screen moves when spacebar is pressed.

The problem appears to be related to the form appearing inside two nested Layer
elements. Combining the two layers makes the problem disappear.

The amount that the display jumps by varies between builds. On the M7 build the
display jump down to around paragraph 15 of the test case. On the 19990629
build, it jumps to paragraph 13. There is no clear reason why it should jump by
this specific amount.

This has been fixed.  There is still sometimes a problem clicking into the text
box which is inside two nested layers.  That is in bug 8286.  But if you tab to
the box and use space you can verify this is okay.
