There seems to be a major bug with auto scrolling that starts when one is writing "over the edge" of the currently visible browser viewport. Steps to reproduce: - Visit a permalink of a topic (problem might be exclusive to topics as I can't reproduce it right now on a whole board) - Click "Reply" or the reply box at the bottom - Now start entering blank lines (just keep repeatedly pushing the enter key) - At some point the lower edge of the input field reaches the bottom of the currently visible browser viewport - Keep entering newlines (or maybe also some text from time to time to be able to better observe the problem) Expected behaviour: - Flow should keep the active line (therefore the last line if you followed the steps above) in sight, therefore at the bottom of the page. Actual behaviour: - At some point (soon after reaching the original end of the page) the automatic scrolling goes totally crazy. - It starts with the text jumping around by some pixels every time one is entering a character - Soon after the whole page is jumping around by multiple lines whenever entering a character - the active line is only quickly in the visible browser viewport when entering the character; quickly after the viewport is jumping back up the page and the active line is hidden. The above occurs for me on Windows 7 using Firefox 27.0.1
[Confirmed] Regarding this, and bug 61938 - I believe the "scroll-to" code is currently being overhauled. (Or was recently, and these are fresh bugs). I'll nudge the relevant devs, in case this is part of a work-in-progress. Also, much thanks for these exemplary detailed and clear bug summaries. They're greatly appreciated. :)
Not seeing this on Chrome, so it may be FF-specific (since I know Quiddity is also on FF).
