Description Nir Perry 2002-01-01 16:45:23 UTC 
When a new tab is opened, and the settings is set so the active tab remains
the same (don't jump to new tab), if you press the arrows keys, the
scrolling is done in the invisible new tab, and not in the currently active
one.


Easiest way to recreate:
Change the setting in "User Interface"/"Tabs"/"Jump to new tabs
automatically" to OFF.
Make sure "Open in tabs by default" in the same place is turned ON.

In any long enough web page play with the arrows (so the page would
scroll), then right-click any link (to open in a new tab) while still
playing with the arrows -
You will notice the scrolling stops as soon as the new tab is opened. When
you move to that tab, you will see it has scrolled!

P.S. Other than that - a great web browser - made me leave IE, netscape 3,
4 & 6, and even Opera 5...

nirp: sorry, a type... I meant "Scrolling iS directed to new tabs even
when not active" in the short summary (in<=>is).
