It's started to get annoying ... without touch the scrollbars while reading on the screen, Safari kind of jerks and jumps up to the top of the page, even if I'm reading toward the bottom. My General sys prefs are set to Scroll to here (not jump to next page).

Anyone else experiencing this?

I think it jumps to the top when the page is fully loaded - it's very annoying.

Yeah, I'm getting that too. I actually thought it was the scroll wheel on my keyboard.
My mind is at ease now, since I figure Apple will squish that pesky bug =]

Did anyone report it, just to make sure?

I've noticed it doing that too, very annoying when using a scrollwheel. I haven't submitted it as a bug yet.

it jumps to the top of the page when loaded.

It happens when you're scrolling with a scroll wheel, and you jerk the mouse at the same time. It's really annoying. I have to consciously stop from moving my cursor when I want to scroll to prevent accidentally jumping to the top of the screen.

how do you reproduce it? doesn't happen on my browser.

nycdunz · Jan 23, 2003, 12:50 PM

yup i get that too it scrolls to the top when it finishes loading, very damn annoying! and apple we need tabs!! i hate having 50 million windows open for each site, the desktop can get very cluttered!

It jumps to the top when fully loaded. Nothing to do with a mouse, your system or being a beta.

You guys think it's annoying, yet in IE it doesn't happen. Why? Because IE doesn't display anything until it all loaded, which is why IE is slower than Safari.

MartiNZ · Jan 23, 2003, 02:04 PM

Yeah, I guess it is quite a small sacrifice, and the quick loading is definitely worth it, especially in long threads in forums

!

I've found that it doesn't fully support using extra mouse buttons though - I have the far right on my intellimouse set to command-click, to open a page in a new window, but often Safari reads this as a signal to stop loading the current page as well.

I don't think that's the ONLY reason IE is slower...

Stop with projections/leads! Projections/leads are not all complete end of the data base search routine!

But to contiune the thread, I've had the same problem and have reported it - it is a bit annoying
