Please describe the problem: As from mailing list, Thanks Mohaned! I can reproduce this too (trunk orca) visit www.fixedearth.com navigate down page, there is missing text between: "The Fair Education Foundation, Inc." and "- since 1973 -" as it stands, we dont know that there is something missing. if we use up arrow, we seem to recover one of the lines of the missing paragraph, namely: "and Proving the Truthfulness of the Bible from Creation to Heaven..." we still dont seem to get hold of the first bit of that sentance: "Exposing the False Science Idol of Evolutionism," . the whole page should read as follows (missing marked with * at the start: "The non-moving Earth" "& anti-evolution web page of" "The Fair Education Foundation, Inc." *"Exposing the False Science Idol of Evolutionism," *"and Proving the Truthfulness of the Bible from Creation to Heaven..." "- since 1973 -" I havent had a chanse to check the markup, nor if simular things happen further down the page. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
another website where this occurs, as pointed out by Hermann on the mailing list: am Fr 29.

Select an article from the links list, they start after "Impressum". Open any article, go to "Impressum" again, and try to read it from the beginning by reading line-by-line. The cursor jumps in the middle of the article. When using the search function by typing a word from the headline, I can start reading from the beginning. I'm sorry, but one should at least have basic knowledge in reading German, but this belongs to my main sites, used every day. Hermann
Is this related to up/down nav issues described by bug 414762?
There's a similar behavior on my daily newspaper site: http://www.fr-online.de/ Open this site with FF3, search for the word "impressum". After this link there is an overview of the most uptodate stories. Open one by clicking on its link. When the page has loaded, search again for "impressum", and then scroll down one line to begin reading the story. The cursor jumps in the middle of the story, and you have to move it back line by line to find the beginning. The same if you read articles in different departments like politics (Politik), business (Wirtschaft) etc. If you search for a word from the story's headline by using Orca's find dialog, everyting's all right. In general: This jumping over several lines often occurs and, I think, was often reported.
Sorry, but now it seems to work. I retested it after writing my last comment. But the last sentence seems true anyway: Such jumping of the cursor was often reported.
Created attachment 107966 [details] [review] revision 1 Please test.
This problem now seems to be fixed.
Thanks Mike. Patch committed to both the gnome-2-22 branch and to trunk. Moving to pending.
