Apprunner Build of July 15
(ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/1999-07-15-13-M9/mozilla-win32.zip).

Scroll to the end of the page (such that a portion of the image is not
displayed). Click upon the map (a static image), and marvel as the beast scrolls
to courteously display the whole of the map of Winnipeg.

Upon second considerations, this behavior is as a ragged figure that approaches
in tattered robes, but has the grimy likeness of an interesting feature when
staring into it's eyes. This may be an interesting option...

This would appear to be the selection code auto-centering.

Accepting bug.

Now that selection auto scroll is working, I disabled the code that scrolls the
selection into view in nsIDOMSeleciton::Extend(). This fixes the problem.

    layout/base/src/nsRangeList.cpp  revision 1.145
        - commented out call to ScrollIntoView() in Extend().
