Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-05-26 08:45:10 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/116957

"Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Epiphany, open a local HTML file which doesn't fit on one screen. Scroll down.
2. Modify the HTML file in an editor. (Epiphany auto-reloads the page.)

What happens:
Epiphany scrolls the page back up to the top.

Expected:
The scroll position should be preserved, just like it is when I press "Reload" in Epiphany or Firefox.

Version:
This appears in Epiphany 2.18.1 (Feisty)."

Probably impossible, and a gecko bug in any case. Needs to be researched on bmo.

Is that Bug relevant for Webkit-Version? Can somebody try to reproduce this bug with an actual version (3.6)?

Status: Needinfo
Component: Backend:Webkit --> Mozilla is obsolete, but bug could also be in Webkit, has to be checked...

I can't reproduce with 3.4, the page is scrolled to the previous position after reload. Marking FIXED.
